Ancient and Modern Turkey in Kusadasi

Learning Some of Turkey's Reputation is Deserved


I was nervous about visiting Turkey.  Amidst the refuges crisis, seeing Europe flooded with migrants using Turkey as a springboard to Greece I wasn’t sure what to expect.  The month before our trip, Europe saw the largest number of migrants enter its borders through Turkey in a single month ever.  Things were getting worse not better.  Even cruise lines were cancelling over night stays in the country, ensuring they left port before sunset.
