Another Look at East and Southeast Turkey
For some time Southeast Turkey has been off the mainstream tourist trail, an undeserved consequence of the unrest here in the 1990s. But don’t be put off: today the region is for the most part calm and easy to visit, and tourists who make it here are rewarded with a glimpse of a region quite removed from the commercialism of the resorts of western Turkey. In the southeast, you can explore an environment with a more traditional feel, a largely Kurdish flavour and historical riches as extensive and fascinating as anywhere else in the country. |
