2008 was St.Paul year. So, many religious people visited to Tarsus. Unfortunately I don't know there enough and I don't have much photo about Tarsus. I prefer to see platos of Tarsus.

All around Turkey there are lots of things to see. It is hard to choose. What I like the most? For sea, almost all seasides in Egean coast (Ege denizi) and Mediterrean coast(Akdeniz). Ölüdeniz, Kusadasi, Bodrum, Kemer, Olympos, Alanya etc. You can swim and sail in many coasts. Historical places: Istanbul, Didim, Bodrum, Bergama, Alanya, Kas, Fethiye, Amasya, Amasra, Sumela monastery(Blacksea), on the east: Diyarbakir, Adiyaman(Nemrut) , Urfa, Mardin,Midyat, Van, Kars etc. For natural beauties: Pamukkale, Dalyan, Blacksea mountains, Cappadocia, waterfalls in Antalya area etc. You can ski in Bolu, Bursa, Kars, Erzurum etc. You can dive in many coastal area especially at Kas and Bodrum. Rafting is possible in some rivers, I prefer Kesikkopru in Antalya. Paragliding is possible around nice landscapes, Ölüdeniz is the best for me.

I tried to write something about Turkish foods in travellogues , than I wrote another one for Turkish desserts. And suddenly I decided to make a dessert. And I wrote a tip about Revani dessert. So , this was dangerous day! :-)) I hope you can also cook it. Or come to Turkey for eating. :-))

Fine information on your homeland, Nur. BTW, doesn't "Nur" mean "Light"? I've had TÜRKiYE on my list of places to visit for sometime, we have to make plans someday soon. :)
