2022 trip to Türkiye

We spent about two weeks in Türkiye in July 2022: roughly a week exploring Istanbul, then we rented a car and drove down the Aegean coast. We visited our Turkish friends in the beach town of Altınoluk, then made stops in Alaçatı and Ephesus. Our final stay was in Bodrum, before flying back to Istanbul and home.

As with our other trips, this write-up is mostly for us: a way to see a picture or hear a name and remember the place and what it was like being there. Maybe you will also find it interesting or useful for planning your own trip.
