First Readers Trip of Alaturka.Info

 Readers Trip

Couple of our readers were asking if we can organise trips to some of the famous sights and so we decided together with some of our partners (Kizkalesi - Reisen Travel agency, the magazine Merhaba Akdeniz, Alditours Travel agency) to set up a first readers trip leading to Mount Nemrut.

Following there will be couple of more trips prepared. We would like to invite you to help us with your experience and tips, alternative aims or interesting places in the future. Please read now the offer of the first Readers trip:
