TrodPod: Turkey

Turkey is one of those rare countries that genuinely straddles civilizations. Straddling Europe and Asia, it has absorbed the legacies of Hittites, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans and turned them into something entirely its own. Istanbul alone could occupy a lifetime. Add Cappadocia’s surreal landscapes, the Roman grandeur of Ephesus, the thermal terraces of Pamukkale, and a cuisine that ranks among the world’s finest, and you have a country of almost unreasonable richness. The tea is strong. The welcome is stronger. Love the pod? Get the guide! Out with each new podcast, we publish a guide to the country.
