Türkiye and Rhodes
with Peter Dodek, Professor Emeritus of Critical Care Medicine

In September, 2022 we visited Turkiye and Rhodes.  After five days of exploring Istanbul on foot, we flew to Kayseri in Cappadocia and drove to Goreme for more exploring the beautiful landscape and a hot-air balloon ride.  Then, we drove to Gaziantep, famous for its great food, and then on to Sanliurfa (birthplace of Abraham), and Mardin (a quaint ancient town on a hilltop in southeast Turkiye).  After four days of exploring that area, including the region close to the Syrian border, we flew to Izmir to visit Ephesus (famous Roman library) and Pamukkale (beautiful limestone formations) before ending our time in Turkiye at Fethiye on the coast.  From there, we took a ferry to Rhodes and spent 5 days there exploring the ancient town (famous as the center of the Knights of Jerusalem in the 1500s) and some of the coastal towns nearby.
