Serbian and Bulgarian roads can not be precisely defined ways.
Our photos show the places where we were.
Istanbul Istanbul, 12,000,000 inhabitants, situated astride the Bosphorus, is the meeting point between East and West. Europe or Asia? Certainly, with its bold two bridges that cross the strait, not just the ring of union between the two continents but also between two cultures: the east and west.
There are numerous testimonies of the various cultures that have occurred over the centuries. Hagia Sophia and the many other smaller churches bring us back to the Byzantine period, the heir of Greek and Roman civilizations. The antiche abitazioni del quartiere di Beyoglu, dominate dalla torre di Galata, ci ricordano il Medioevo, mentre i grandi palazzi lungo le rive del Bosforo sono costruiti secondo stili architettonici occidentali.
Le decine di moschee che, con i loro minareti, sono visibili da ogni punto della città, hanno il fascino dell’oriente. Ed ha il sapore dell’oriente anche il palazzo del Topkapi ed i numerosi mercati, primo fra tutti il Gran Bazar con la sua animazione ed i suoi profumi.
The close encounter with Arianna a newborn baby turtle on the beach of Cirali
Boat trip to the island of Kekova where, in its depths there are the remains of the ancient city now sunk and submerged as a result of tremendous earthquakes. The sea is crystal clear on the floor of the boat there are windows that allow us to see the underwater remains of the ancient city. Around us, along the coast and on the seafront we are submerged, some Lycian tombs and countless Roman ruins.
The limestone formations of Pamukkale extend for about a mile square and are made only by calcium bicarbonate, and the stream that feeds the pools of Pamukkale and runs two miles along this descent, takes calcium minerals to be consolidated on the rocks below. This will create the river and live white-edged circular by which hot water is collected and charity, which has a temperature of about 33 degrees used for therapeutic purposes. In the numerous pools of this water you can dive and become covered with mud, just as healthy, which is deposited in large quantities on the bottom. Pamukkale in turkish means "cotton castle", and observed from a distance, gives this impression. There walks in between this hot water and wait for the sunset watching a real show.
Ephesus became the most important of the cities of the province of Asia, and here occurred the most violent revolts against the power of Rome. A city rich, not deprived of the symbols of their wealth and adorned with monuments and works of which are fabled throughout the ancient ages. It was an important center for the Christians of Asia: the apostle stayed Paolo. Efeso fu anche la sede del Concilio Ecumenico del 431 d.C. Nonostante il tentativo di Tiberio e Adriano di arrestare l’insabbiamento del porto naturale, la città fu condannata ad un lento declino.
Il caldo come sempre non ci abbandona.
Cosa dire...è stato un bellissimo viaggio.
