Postcards from the Ege: Jack Scott's Turkey Trail
With such an immense political and cultural heritage, it’s no surprise that kaleidoscopic Turkey is such a feast, a prime cut of authenticity seasoned by the West and spiced by the East.
Jack Scott knows a thing or two about the country. He lived there for years and travelled widely, discovering ancient ruins, stunning coastlines, colourful villages and the characters who make the country so memorable.
In Postcards from the Ege, Jack shares his personal must-sees and don’t-bothers along Turkey’s spectacular western and southern coastline. Follow him through the extraordinary ruins of Ephesus and the landscapes of ancient Ionia, discover the villages, harbours and beaches around Bodrum, and venture further south into the rugged beauty of Lycia and the Turquoise Coast. Along the way there are ancient wonders, spectacular scenery, unexpected discoveries and plenty of Jack’s trademark irreverence.
“There are more ancient sites in Turkey than in all of Western Europe and in places like Bodrum and Fethiye, unbroken sunshine is virtually guaranteed from May to October. And despite what you may hear, Turkey remains a low-crime country and one of the safest holiday destinations anywhere: the Syrian border is a very long way from the beaches of the Aegean (the ‘Ege’).
