This is my second post from a visit to the Istanbul Archaeological Museums, one of the great museums of the world. In the first post, Alison and I visited the Archaeological Museum and spent most of the time admiring the incredible collection of sarcophagi on display there. In this post, we'll stroll the grounds and visit the Ancient Orient Museum, but first, we will make a brief stop at the Tiled Kiosk. Please join us.

This is my third post from a tour of western Turkey that Alison and I went on in October of 2021 before the Delta and Omicron variants of Covid effectively shut down the travel industry. In the first post, I explained the reasons that we chose Turkey and why we went with our preferred tour operator Adventures Abroad. In the second post, I extolled the virtues of the Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel where we stayed at the beginning and end of the tour. In the next two posts, we'll visit one of my favourite places in Istanbul, the Istanbul Archaeological Museums. While this museum is not on the Adventures Abroad itinerary there is enough free time to easily visit it either on the afternoon of the first day or on the last two days of the tour. I recommend seeing it first because it provides a great introduction to some of the many civilizations that have arisen in Turkey over the past 5,000 years.

This is the second of what promises to be many posts from one of my all-time favourite countries, Turkey. In the first post, I gave the reasons why Turkey should be on every world traveller's radar, even in these pandemic times. In this post, I'll introduce the reader to one of the world's greatest cities, Istanbul, the only one that straddles two continents. Alison and I will spend a couple of days relaxing and exploring the city before joining our Adventures Abroad group for a comprehensive tour of Western Turkey. I hope you'll join us for what promises to be an amazing three weeks.

Last October, during a respite in the Covid pandemic, Alison and I travelled to Turkey with Adventures Abroad We had been to this wonderful country a number of times before and leapt at the chance to visit it again, particularly as the itinerary included a number of places we had not been to before, notably Cappadocia. In this post I am going to try to answer three questions that might be on the mind of even the most intrepid traveler – why Turkey, why now, and why go with Adventures Abroad? If I've done my job properly, by the end of this post the reader will be looking up the dates for the next AA trip to Turkey.

Alas, this is my final post from the tiny island nation of Malta. Although I was only here for six days on an Adventures Abroad trip led by Victor Romagnoli in October 2021 during a respite in the Covid pandemic, I saw and experienced enough to write fourteen separate posts. In the last two posts, our group began exploring Gozo, Malta's tinier sister island beginning with the natural attractions at Dwejra and then moving on to the megalithic temples of Ggantija. In this post, we'll move on to Victoria, the largest city on Gozo and after walking the medieval streets and stopping for lunch, we'll visit the Cittadella Gozo which I found to be one of the real highlights of a country that has more than its share. Please join us one more time in Malta.

In this post, we'll visit another of Gozo's major attractions, the megalithic temples of Ggantija. We'll also deviate from the planned itinerary and visit a place that Ulysses liked so much that he stayed there for seven years. Please join us on another great day of exploration in this small, but historically very important country.
