We're thinking perhaps of a trip from Turkey to Greece . . .
Many thanks,

Nancy was giving a talk, I was enjoying myself.
We go to Turkey pretty much every year, Archaeologically it is a must see. But you probably won't be able to see it all on one trip. We have been to the Karain Cave a few times
(Karain Cave, This is 27 km. from Antalya and is reached from the Burdur highway, turning left at the Karain sign. Digs have been continuing there since 1946. These have revealed a settlement at that spot 50.000 years ago. It is the largest cave in Turkey to have been inhabited. Some of the finds are on display in the little Karain Museum and others in the Pre-History Section of Antalya Museum),
Visited Kapadokia, climbed Nemrut Dag (Not sure you can do that anymore), spent time in Konya, Side, Antalya, Ephesus, the lost goes on...Not sure just how calm the Eastern portion of the country is, right now, best to check w/the DOS first.
