Although you have hours to go from the Antalya Riviera towards Cappadocia, there are fortunately few worthy stops along the way. It is not just a chance to stretch your legs, but the opportunity to see and learn so much.
People usually know something about whirling dervishes – they have seen some entertainment inspired by this order in Turkey or Egypt restaurants, Middle Eastern countries, etc, but they are way more than that. Before I was planning to visit the Turkish town
If wondrous Cappadocia in Turkey is on your bucket list, prepare to take a long ride. Not sure if it’s more distant to come from the west (from the Aegean Sea and Istanbul), or from the southern Mediterranean. Perhaps the

When arriving in Ljubovija town after a shortstop to Banja Koviljaca, the main thing to do was to find a place to stay. We were on the road all day long, tired of driving, of that rain drizzling along the

Wanted to visit Banja Koviljacha spa center, and this is a short reminder of a legend regarding the place - before we go through Loznica town in the next Glimpse and before we actually reach Banja Koviljacha. At the time of
„Officer persuaded me to take a Highland ramble into the Gutchevo range, and first visit Tronosha
On our way from Kaona Monastery, we didn’t go to the main road from Trshic village, since the town of Loznica iz only seven kilometers away – following some „shortcut“. But, what we didn’t know is that this road section
