Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Thursday 30 August We spent our day off in our tour bus, making the long trip from Kusadasi (which I loved!) to Assos (which I’ve only seen by night so far but also looks beautiful – another coastal town). We broke the trip in Izmir, as our photographer grew up there and wanted to spend some time in the city again. Such a cosmopolitan place! I was amazed! We sipped on coffee, overlooking the beautiful shore. And we were in…

Koula, 94.7 presenter and F&HE blogger, is loving all things food-related in her travels through Turkey, Greece, Italy and Israel… Thursday 23 August This has been one of my favourite days in Turkey so far! Another early departure from our hotel, this time to a town called Halfeti to see the sunken city. Potentially the same fate awaits Hasenkeyf, as we’d seen last week… The ‘sunken city’ was full of life up until a few years ago, when residents were relocated so that the area could be flooded for hydropower purposes. Another mad hot day, we jumped into a small…
