This was a while ago...back in May I went to guide in Turkey again and I am more and more in love with this country as a trekking destination. The food is deeeelicious, the views are fabulous, the people are friendly, the flora is fascinating, the ruins are worth it, the weather was cold at first and tropical by the end! We discovered the Agean sea-side village of Ayvalik and almost forgot to leave! Turkey is a marvelous place to loose your guidebook and travel by instinct.
