The Greek Isles & Turkey: In Praise Of Pleasure

936

Let us now praise sun-bathing on black-sand beaches overlooking dolphin-blue seas.  Surrendering to the singular pleasures of a Turkish hammam.  Dining on fresh calamari in the shadow of thousand-year-old ruins.  Let us praise the sun-baked island of Rhodes with its fragrant gardens, crooked little streets and windswept coves.  The spirited nightlife of Istanbul and Athens.  The remarkable golden-sand beaches lining Turkey’s Azure Coast.

Are you starting to get the picture?  The Greek Isle and breathtaking seaside resorts of Turkey represent the heights of sybaritic splendor.  Everywhere you look, new sensory delights compete for your attention. The intoxicating aromas of exotic spices and luxurious oils beckon from Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar.  Lobster risotto and other decadent treats call from the restaurants of Mykonos.  The ruins near Kusadasi invite you to wander along their well-worn paths.  Celebrate another brilliant Santorini sunset with a glass of ouzo.  See Ottoman mansions and wooden yatis the way they were meant to be seen – from a small boat sailing the Bosporus.

Visit this region and delight in the pleasure of discovering an energy and beauty found nowhere else in the world.

We hope you enjoy these images of Turkey.
