A journey through a beautiful landscape

When I was in Antalya last summer I made a bus trip to pammukkale and Erzurum. Turkey is defenetly a country that should be seen not just at the costal lines, the interior offers a sumptuous nature,landscape and friendly people.

We drove on the most dangerous roads and hiked in the most beautiful enviroment. I will never forget the mountains with the snow and the picturesque small little villages. The people were happy to see tourists, not because that the wanted to make money. They just wanted to show their genuine hospitallity. And they did.
It's amazing how people can inspire you with pure friendliness
