Turkey is on my list of Destinations To Visit (just not anytime soon). In the meantime, I watched this great video travelogue that, ironically, made me feel as though I had already been there and don't need to go back.
The “Watchtower Of Turkey” was directed and edited by Leonardo Dalessandri.
It's a masterful video with amazing cinematography from “over 3500 km traveled in 20 days, capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, the all passing by a great variation of colors, lights and weathers through six other cities.”
I've crossed Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Istanbul, Konya; and tasted baklava, kunefe, doner, the turkish tea; and got the chance to meet the soul of Turkey, its people.. and got their smiles and their hospitality.
The music by Ludovico Einaudi is equally good and well-matched to the film. Watch the whole thing, and you'll feel like you never have to go there. (The Turkey Tourism Board must love that.)
