New for 2013: Turkey
With winter most definitely here, with the first dustings of snow on the hills, time to be tempted by some of next year's travels...
Before leading our Cyprus trip, in November Yiannis travelled to Turkey, with Chris and Henry, to search for autumn bulbs and make plans for a new autumn itinerary. And judging by the photos, they had a pretty successful trip! Spectacular Sternbergias, a whole batch of good Colchicums and Crocuses and (my favourites) a couple of wonderful Biarums. Add into the mix some interesting archaeological sites and some good birds and reptiles, and I think we have a pretty tempting trip!
