The best little hotels from Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria and Albania

Never dig a hole in Turkey


Safranbolu in the heart of Turkey

Recently I had come across an article by Edward Reeves of Telegraph. It is about the hidden treasures of Turkey. He says that Turkey is currently great value for British travellers since it is out of Euro zone. He adds and recommends British people to venture beyond the traditional holiday centres to unearth its finest gems. That's actually what Balkanatolia is about! Bringing you the best little accommodation options for a remote holiday!

I loved the article much, I want to quote the first paragraph here;
Within 30 seconds of the first spade breaking the earth, a team of archaeologists will have appeared from nowhere, taped off the area, and fined you for damaging a long-lost Bronze Age settlement or first-century Roman bathhouse. Just ask the poor guys trying to build Istanbul's much-needed metro, or the farmers of Göbekli Tepe in Eastern Turkey. Until the mid-Nineties, the latter were dragging their ploughs inches above the carved stones of a temple dating from 12,000BC. Turkey's like that – dig a little and you're bound to uncover hidden treasures.

In the text, some details are shared but it is pity that there is not much info about Eastern Turkey. As a person living in the heart of Eastern Turkey, I could write about East! I think I will do it soon! It is worth!!!!

Btw, I have added Safranbolu picture because that's what was written in the article:
If there were an award going for World's Most Charming Town, Safranbolu would walk it.

So true!
