Is Healthy Nutrition Possible When We Travel?

In my post "Food for Healthy Life and Strong Immune System", I wrote about my dietary habits - what I eat and what I avoid, in order to keep in good health. I easily adhere to my diet when I'm at home and in control of food that I buy, prepare and cook. But, is healthy nutrition possible when we travel? Well, let's have a look at what I did during my past travels. Back then, I didn't really pay much ...

How to Travel by Bus in Turkey?

In this post, I'd like to reflect on my travel around Turkey. I was there for 5 weeks and visited 8 different cities - Istanbul, Bursa, Izmir, Kusadasi, Aydin, Antalya, Konya and Ankara. I spent two weeks in two of Turkey's most popular summer resorts. Additionally, I explored Ottoman and Seljuk heritage and saw many wonderful historical sites that I've written about in my previous posts. I travelled by bus ...

Is Turkish Food Healthy?

Is Turkish food healthy? Perhaps, the right question to ask should be whether the food that I had in Turkey was healthy and whether I made healthy choices. Truthfully, the same as everywhere else, it's not really the food in a particular country that's good or bad. It's what we choose to eat that's either good for us or not. But first, let's once again have a look at my nutritional ideology. I've written ...

Museum of Anatolian Civilisations – Ankara

While Ankara is not rich in historic monuments like Istanbul, there are several sites that you can visit there. Undoubtedly, one of them is the monumental Ataturk Mausoleum, dedicated to the Father of the Nation. Within the mausoleum, the Ataturk and War on Independence Museum is the best place to learn about the creation of the modern Turkish Republic. But, another fascinating place and a must see in ...

Atatürk Museum – Ankara

Anitkabir or the Ataturk Mausoleum, dedicated to the Father of the Nation - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk - is possibly the most important historic place in Ankara. Within the mausoleum complex, apart from the Ataturk's tomb, the Ataturk Museum is what everyone should visit.

I don't want to get into too many details about Ataturk. There is ...

Ankara

Of all places that I visited in Turkey, perhaps, I could've skipped Ankara. Although, it made sense to stop there within the context of my travel. I was in Konya and wanted to go back to Istanbul. One way to travel from Konya to Istanbul is by bus via Ankara, and that's what I did. But let me explain my earlier comment. Ankara is not a tourist destination the way, for example, Istanbul is. It came to ...

Ottoman Konya

I previously wrote about the Seljuk heritage in Konya and also about the fascinating Mevlana Museum. But there is also Ottoman Konya to consider, in addition to history before it became an important Ottoman city. In fact, it was really the only thing that I knew about Konya when I decided to go there, during my travel across Turkey.

Mevlana Museum – Konya

Certain special places exist in the world, but we may not know anything about them. In my case, Mevlana Museum was one of them. When I included Konya in my travel itinerary, I knew that it was an important Ottoman city. So, it made sense for me to go there because one of the reasons for my travel across Turkey was to explore Ottoman heritage. I remember reading about Konya on the beach in Antalya, ...

Seljuk Konya

Earlier this year, when I was making plans for my travel in Turkey, I included Konya because I knew that it was an important Ottoman city. But I certainly didn't know that there would be one additional aspect to consider. I'm referring to Seljuk Konya. I read about Konya on the beach in Antalya, because I wanted to find out more about the place that I was going to visit. That's when I discovered its ...

Konya

After a week in Antalya, it was time for me to move to Konya, the next destination during my travel across Turkey. I was a bit sad to leave Antalya because I enjoyed my time on the beach there. The inland places that I was going to visit during the next leg of my journey had neither a beach, nor a swimming pool, where I could cool down during hot summer days. But that didn't bother me too much because, ...
