Cenk's family were fantastic and made us the most lovely traditional Turkish food. This was just before our ...
Experiencing Adana
Today we headed westward to Adana, another city dating back 3000 years. Along the way we stopped at Karatepe, an archaeologically significant walled, neo-Hittite city dating from the eighth century BC. These remote and beautiful ruins are situated in the forested foothills of the Taurus Mountains at the edge of a lake. There is not much here as far as the extent of the ruins but it did give us a glimpse of what ...
