In Postcards from the Ege, Jack Scott shares some of his must-sees and personal highlights. Follow Scott’s trail, come to Turkey.
p class="MsoNormal">With such an immense political and cultural heritage, it’s no surprise kaleidoscopic Turkey is such a feast – a prime cut of authenticity, seasoned by the West and spiced by the East. Jack Scott knows a thing or two about the country. He lived there for four years and travelled widely – to Istanbul and along its south-western shores from Izmir to Alanya.

Guidebooks and travelogues only go so far. To get a real feel, you need to ask someone who’s been there, done that and bought all the fake t-shirts.
