Sergey, amazingly beautiful and different 'natural' rock formations in the Urgup area!! That is quite a variety of Turkish Night dances you managed to see. I hope you were careful with the 'unlimited drinks'!! | Trekki Thu Mar 5, 2009 06:44 UTC
Oh great Sergey :-)) I love the landscape and the music you've chosen and haha, imagine me dancing all day today after all these Turkish dances :-) | balhannah Sat Feb 14, 2009 04:44 UTC
Enjoyed watching your video and reading your tips | JLBG Fri Nov 7, 2008 20:45 UTC
It is a real challenge to build a page on a place that everybody knows and have seen plenty of photos. You succeeded! Your page is fascinating! Your photos of dances are splendid. |
