Inhaltsangabe

The Turkish coast between Izmir and Antalya is an area of drama and beauty - towering wooded mountains, river-cut gorges, isolated valleys, secretive headlands and remote coves. Rich in the ruins of antiquity, it remains comparatively unspoilt, a magnet for a trickle of discerning travellers and boat-borne holidaymakers wishing to explore its colours, scents and monuments.
This collection brings the fascination of the region into sharp relief, travelling in the company of Hesiod and Homer, following the route of Alexander's army, sharing the excitement of the first British antiquarian explorers and game-hunters, as well as celebrating the delights of Turkish cooking and the steam-filled vaults of the hammam.
