Turkey has been the the crossroads of the world since pre-Biblical times. Armies have conquered it repeatedly over the millennia. Even today it straddles the land between the western world and the middle east both geographically and culturally. Come with us as we visit Istanbul with its palaces, museums and mosques. Then spend 4 days on a sailboat hopping from one Mediterranean port to another. Visit Greek,  Lycian, Lydian and Roman ruins. See the other-world landscape of Capadoccia from the ground and a hot air balloon. Meet the Turkish people.
