That was a huge surprise indeed 👍🏻
And a bit of a coincidence that we seemed it out in the first place. The trip generally took a completely different route than initially planned put together with some Turkish friends. The earthquakes took several areas off the route - didn’t want to intrude and do disaster tourism (and they really had better things to do there). Then it was an evening routine of looking what we could do the coming day, some online research and luck 🍀😁

It has been epic indeed - do check out the first three installments, too!
Lots of variety to be seen and enjoyed in Turkey
Glad you like it - a road trip much to be recommended if …
You enjoy driving and exploring new places!
That it has certainly been!
Check out the first three episodes, linked in the post above, too - for the full experience. One more to come
Ca. 10.000km (6.200 miles) in 11 days, so a certain pace was a must 😁👍🏻
There’s so much to see you could easily fill a trip at the same pace but twice the number of days and not be bored for a second!
Absolutely blown away!
My knowledge of Turkey doesn't extend beyond a handful of cities and mainly all on the coast. This is a whole new level of wonders and sights to see. Food looks delicious too, what's not to love ! Thanks so much for sharing this amazing road trip!
So glad that you enjoyed it - and I can highly recommend venturing beyond the coast as well!
One more installment to come
Not quite the end yet 😁
Will do one more installment - the drive to Bursa in Western Turkey
I have been following from Part 1…
Thats pretty serious driving on average miles/day….but what great landscape and scenery! Great stuff!
6200 miles in 11 days…
And at least 10.000 steps of walking daily on top It really was worth it and in terms of driving, the relatively empty roads of excellent quality (I probably mentioned a grand total of two potholes spotted)and a sufficient variety to make the driving fun ...
The roads are amazing…
You mentioned 2 potholes in 4k miles. Looking forward to the finale
Give me a couple of weeks for that 😁👍🏻
Might do another report of a shorter trip in the meantime - from closer to home Still have several mountain passes that I haven written up…
Thank you - one more part to follow 😊👍🏻
Takes a little bit to search for the old shots and one cannot upload so many at once. Glad if you enjoy it!
Tried to post a variety of pictures…
So as to give a more comprehensive view of the overall trip. The driving was definitely a highlight but at the same time also not the only highlight 😊👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed the little adventure - not quite finished yet 😊👍🏻
And even better live than through pictures 👍🏻
Glad you think so - so many fascinating places to see enroute 😊👍🏻
And the drive between them is anything but a chore 😁🏁
That was a huge surprise indeed 👍🏻

In that case it’s not over yet 😁👍🏻
One more installment coming - the drive to Bursa on the West coast 👍🏻
