    Another great video, bringing us the warmth of Turkey. What fabulous ruins, great breakfast, warm welcoming people and s beach, what's not to love. If you get the time do try the baths in Feteyer, they're great fun, stars in the ceiling. Stay safe, sending hugs from a very windy and wet UK x

    It just continuously amazes me of the ruins you two are seeing there, it is just so awesome. And like Ben said, there is forever mystery that will stay with so many of these sites. I have so enjoyed your journey through Turkey, you two as well as Chris and Marianne have brought this country's beauty, culture, history and friendliness of the people to us in such wonderfully made videos....I so appreciate the work you have put into all the making of them. May the rest of your journey be filled with more wonderful moments like we have seen today. Take care you four

Your walk across the glass bridge reminded me of when I lay on the glass floor at the CN tower in Toronto. I'm terrified of heights too, Chesca, but you have to do it, don't you?

    Don’t miss the north coast of Turkey, my friends. Black Sea coast is totally different from south coast of Turkey. You will love the highlands too. The cuisine, culture, weather and nature is different there but the hospitality is the same. You can have a look through internet and make your own decision but i believe that it worths since you are still in Turkey. A little tip from one of your Turkish followers…😉 Have a lovey trip and enjoy my big, beautiful and diverse country with a lot of history….❤️❤️❤️

      Thank you Murat! We would absolutely love to visit the Black Sea coast but our time in Turkey is limited and we just won’t have the time to visit 😔 We’ve been here during the winter when it hasn’t been a good time to visit the north coast. One day we’d love to come back to Turkey and drive the Black Sea coast, and then drive down the east!

    Those ruins are incredible! It still gets me how you can find something around every corner. Being an Aussie, it staggers me the number of castles, abbeys, ancient or medieval buildings that you can discover, and how so many people just walk past and never see them. But wow, a full temple complex, and River just looks so at home exploring them. You're definitely selling Turkey to us, between the breakfasts, temples, caving, contrasting weather. Just incredible, thanks for sharing yet another wonderful week of travel.

      PS, the figs, they're called glyka in Greece or 'spoon fruits', basically the last fruit of the season that won't have chance to fully develop are harvested, and then simmered in a sugar syrup, then preserved in the same syrup. You can get all sorts; figs, cherries, citrus, even some vegetables! Safe travels! xx

      @@MoonRiverTravels My favorite "spoon-sweets" are walnuts...they're rare to find and even rarer to be as good as they can be; seems to take quite the master who knows traditional cooking very well to get them just right...for walnuts it's the opposite, you have to get them at the right time when they're still unripe.

And as I’ve said before I just love walking through ruins! Such beauty in every direction!! 🙏👌👍 glass of wine and a sunset is a great idea. The caves of heaven and hell? Looks interesting 😁.. I’ve added it to my list as I have to visit this one day! Looks quite dark in the cave, but at least the river has a nice sound to it! Breakfast looked good too. The laundry service is brilliant!

    Great video again. Thank you. I think you are on the way of Antalya from Mersin way. I can highly to recommend Alanya cableway (then you will be able to see a castle there and a good view) and then you should visit Side (in manavgat) you may park your car near the beach(you may search as Agora beach side just as a location), i believe you will love the sand and the beach) park your car there then go to side antique city. Then on the way aspendos antique theater, then kurşunlu waterfall, then düden waterpall&park. Then you must see Antalya old town but there is little bit park problem (for parking “mekanik katlı otopark - google it) . Then Konyaaltı beach. Then çıralı beach (you will love it). Before çıralı you can visit Göynük Canyon . Have fun 🤗🤗

    Great to see you still having fun. Not sure on your route back but the ferry you traveled on from Brindisi to Igoumenitsa on the way out tragically caught fire yesterday and nine people are still missing. It is currently been towed into Corfu. Just thought id give you the heads up so you can make alternative plans in advance if needed. Enjoy the rest of your adventure and hope your pet paperwork goes to plan.

    Hi from Spain!!!
    Chesca & Ben are an adorable couple.
    My wife and I were in amazing Turkey in octuber (we want to retire in two years in the south).
    I have spent my whole life trying to learn English well.
    I am completely in love with Chesca's English accent.
    What area of your country are you from? You just need to talk with a cup of tea and Enid Blyton.
    You can't find this accent on the Tube anymore, you have to resort to commuter trains in London.
    Your videos help me to learn English and the desire to travel.
    Congratulations and well done for travelling!!! Because the days never come back.
    Good luck!!! 👍😀

    Turkey located in mid-latitudes climate zone in north hemisphere so lives 4 season in a year .. Geographically and Geologically : The Anatolia peninsula was under the sea at the begining of the 3rd Goeological period , The blacksea was a lake and today's Aeagean sea was land . During the 4 th geological period , the Agean Land collapsed and the Anatolia peninsula rised from under the sea with the presure of Alp - Himalaya mountain oregeny and Arabic orogeny .. you can imagine ; you are pressuring a rectangle paper from north and south .. Result :
    1) The height increase from west to the East in Turkey. The transportaion generally very hard , agricultral areas limited in this region because of that the main economical sector is husbandary in eastern anatolia .
    2) Southern and Northern mountains spreads paralel to the sea .. chain of mountains. The moutains are also high in these areas.
    3) The central anatolia be very cold in winter because sea air (humidty) can not reach to the central anatolia because of the paralel mountains in north and south..
    4) Aegean region did not occured like southern and northern areas.. the mountains in aegean region rised with not orogeny but as Horst and Graben because of that mountains spread from west to the east, not paralel to the sea. Because of that Aegean region's avarage humidity is not high like Antalya ,Mersin,Adana areas (Mediterranean region) Also aegean region is the riskiest region for earthquekes in Anatolia because of the region 's horst - graben structure ( because of that there is a lot of thermal waters (spa) resources exist in aegean region )
    5) In north, the air takes to humidty from the sea and the wet air starts to climb the paralel mountains but because of the cold weather the air starts to get smaller and air can not carry the humidity (water ) and north sides of the Northern anatolia mountains be always rainy even in summer..
    As contrary , ın southern anatolia air again takes humidty( water) from the sea but because of the hot weather air expands and starts to carry more water inside because of that in summer humidty be very high in Southern anatolia but in winter be very rainy .
