"MY FAMILY'S ORIGIN : THE BALKANS" Kirklareli Ili by artonice

My father has born in this small village but after education he has become a teacher and start to live in Istanbul.
In summer when I was a child , we have been visiting me grandmother and father and those were my most happy times.While I was a child, being in the nature was my life's biggest luck I thing.Because it's the place that my imagination has been widen.

In this part of Turkey (European part: Kirklareli, Edirne, Tekirdag ) the majority of people had immigrated from , Greece, Bulgaria or other Balkan countries in the Ottomon Empire times.My father's village,Ceylankoy has been constituted by the people that had immigrated from Bulgaria in the Ottomon -Russian war in 1877

The best way to spend a spring day in a village is to fly your kite through the blue clouds.
