Turkey

Gallery Info

Turkey is a country that is split by the Bosporus into a european and asian part. It's known for its rich history, diverse culture, and stunning landscapes. From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the serene beaches of the Mediterranean coast, Turkey offers a wealth of photographic opportunities.

This gallery showcases a selection of photos I captured during a visit to Istanbul, Turkey's largest city. The images highlight the city's unique blend of ancient and modern architecture, vibrant street life, and breathtaking views. What stood out to me most about Istanbul was its abundance of magnificent mosques, each with its own distinct character and charm.

After visiting Istanbul, I continued my journey to the coast, driving through beautiful scenery between Bodrum and Antalya. Due to the hot climate, many trails were closed due to fire risks, but I still managed to capture two photos that showcase the stunning coastal landscapes of the region.
