Isak Pasa Sarayi  Dogubeyazit.

I hope that you found a better hotel in Doğubeyazit than we did, when we were there last spring. Did you manage to find the meteor crater? We tried but failed. I don't think the black and purple clouds, rolling thunder, rain, lightning and dirt track was conducive to our  search

[Findik]

The meteor crater has now been filled in as there never was much to see anyway. I continued on to Van for a hotel which was a reasonable standard and the food was great.

Our first bus trip, a few years ago now. Was from Antalya to Goreme then on to Trabzon, then to Malatya (for Nemrut Dağ) and then return to Antalya. A long way but well worth the trip.

Great photographs Findik. Thanks for sharing, not the usual brochure stuff. Looks to have been a great trip. An inspiration indeed. Alan & Pauline.

Wonderful photo's Findik  

Travelling within Turkey had been an intention of mine a long time ago, it was nice to see places I'd only imagined, through your lenses. thank you

Another great place to visit is the Chimera(where the flames come out of the ground) near Cirali and Olympus. Coastal route 5 hours by bus from Fethiye or go inland route to Antalya then back up the coast to Cirali. More spectacular at night but dangerous walk in the dark.

Great thread Hazel, thank you for sharing your travels with us. Can I ask, assuming that some legs of the journey go through fairly unchanging and uninspiring landscapes - how to you pass the time on 5 hour journeys?
