Ayvalik, Sarimsakli, your beach hotel, the converted churches, beautiful beaches, the islands...all make for interesting and educational reading. Superior photos to accompany all of this information. | sachara Tue Mar 31, 2009 21:29 UTC
Wow, so many pages of Turkey ! First I have to scan pictures before I can even start. Like JL I also wondered that Lesbos was so close. So after visiting Ayvalik I went to Lesbos the next trip to see all in other perspective. |
