Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Saturday 1 September Our tour bus drove us onto a ferry, early this morning (with a quick photo stop at the wooden horse that was built for the movie Troy) and we disembarked at the Gallipoli peninsula. Such a sobering and sad time there, seeing the names of so many young men from all over the world that lost their lives during the Battle of Gallipoli. Then we drove to the Kipi border post and into Greece! Really loved our…

And despite our punctual arrival, the place was already swarming with tourists from across the globe. If you ever go to Ephesus, get there very early! Besides having to weave your way through thronging masses of people, there is also very little shade and it was sweltering! Seeing all the ancient buildings was definitely worth it though – from the Celsus…

Born in Adelaide (Australia’s largest wine-growing region), F&HE’s wine and travel editor Ingrid Casson studied wine and journalism before moving to SA 10 years ago. Mad about wine and food, she’s happiest when travelling… Spring is here and – especially for the English – scotch eggs are a picnic staple. Thought to have been dreamt up in the Middle Ages by Scottish farmers and shepherds, it made for a hearty, portable snack in the fields that could be wrapped up and kept in the bag. With scotch eggs’ multi layers they look a bit complicated to make, but the F&HE…

The day’s itinerary is usually decided on the day by the director, depending on how happy he is with the shooting’s pace. So we went straight to Tarsus instead, birthplace of the apostle Paul, and seeing as we’re shooting ‘The lonely footsteps of the apostle Paul’, an important place indeed. We went to St Paul’s Well – the well that was used in Tarsus during Paul’s time, surrounded by original stone…

Our first stop: the ancient Black Bird statue (Karakus), high up on a mountain top. From there, we took a long, winding road to get to Mount Nemrut. The views of the lush Mesopotamian plain around us, once again, breath-taking! The ruins we were…
