West Turkey

Narrated by Rick Steves

30 minutes; European Travel Guide

For half the price of visiting Greece, Turkey offers as much intrigue, history, sun, friendliness and scrumptous food.  We visit spectacular Greek ruins at Ephesus and Aphrodisias and ancient hot springs at Pamukkale.  Viewers can travel up the Meander River, visit a Turkish bath, eat Turkish pizza and get tips on staying healthy in foreign countries.  An exotic culture to most Americans, Turkey feels more familiar as we discover a blend of ancient and modern in nomadic life, whirling Dervishes, and strong Muslim beliefs.
