Rona Landmans’ Thoughts On Turkey

21Nov10

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time for turkey!!! While most bloggers at this time are blogging about ‘Turkey’- the bird, I am taking a little detour. For a change, I am blogging about ‘Turkey’- the charming Mediterranean country.

In the second week of October, I had the opportunity to spend 6 days in Turkey.  Our first destination was Istanbul. There, we spent most of our time site seeing, visiting museums and the famous bazaars. 

 

 

    Rona At Spice Bazaar, Istanbul

 Had champagne & cocktails at the Sunset Grill & Bar overlooking the Bosphorus  river in Istanbul

 Spent  two days in heaven at The Gloria Serenity Spa & Resort,Antalya. Relaxing during the day and discoing at night on the water on this beautiful floating barge.

Ruins at the City of Ephesus – Most well preserved Roman ruins in the eastern Mediterranean. The mosaic floors  of the houses in Ephesus, with its intricate Turkish designs are a work of art. The Turkish furniture, rugs and accessories reflect similar intricacy and attention to detail.

Throughout the trip, I picked up some interesting souvenirs and gifts.  Apple tobacco for a friend to use in her ‘hoopa’.  From Antalya – handmade jewelry, jewelry boxes, & old evil eye spiritual token. Although the trip was a little short, overall, it was  wonderful !!!!
