The Western Shores of Turkey: Discovering the Aegean and Mediterranean Coasts

John Freely, "The Western Shores of Turkey: Discovering the Aegean and Mediterranean Coasts"
English | 2004 | pages: 420 | ISBN: 1850436185 | PDF | 13,7 mb

Resting on two continents, Turkey reflects and absorbs the cultures of both East and West and nowhere is this more evident than along its Aegean and Mediterranean coasts. This is a land immersed in history and mythology: it is where Anthony met Cleopatra, where Herodotus, the *father* of history, was born and where legendary battles were fought–from Alexander the Great to Gallipoli. The Western Shores of Turkey is the distillation of a succession of journeys that John Freely made along this coast–an odyssey spanning a quarter of a century. By bus, car and caique, on foot and post boat, from Istanbul to Antakya (Antioch) on the Syrian border, he discovered the charm of modern Turkey and the wonders of its past. The result is both an informative guide and a remarkable travelogue for all who follow in his footsteps.
