For the first few years of traveling and organizing travel in Turkey, I thought, “if this is so beautiful even with all the crowds, how would peaceful Turkey be?”.
\nI did not, however, begin the search till 2012 -13. A friend of mine from Istanbul had on one impulse decided to take a flight to the east of Turkey, that’s when I had last heard of her. Then one day I got a postcard of a beautiful lake with a mosque on the backdrop. Without reading much into it and taking the mosque out it felt like a scene from the Swiss Alps perhaps. I kept the postcard in my drawer but the image stayed in my mind.<\/p>\n

I was in Istanbul later that year and in one corner of a corner caf\u00e9, I saw the same lake and the mosque hung on the wall. I asked the owner of the caf\u00e9 about it, and he mentioned Uzung\u00f6l. I like the way the Turkish pronounce some words, and Uzun G\u00f6l struck a chord with both it’s sound and its sight in the frame. I was already feeling tired of the overcrowded historic sights of the country and the tour had started to feel more like a lesson in history rather than a walk through the country. I knew where I was headed next.<\/p>\n

Like in the East Europe<\/a> trip, the trip to Turkey was going through a change in my mind. It needed more of the countryside and needed to feel away from the crowds at least for 1\/3rd<\/sup> of the tour. I planned for the North East that Autumn of 2013, and what an Autumn in Turkey it turned out to be!!<\/p>\n
