In the morning, when the cold still dominates, the light turns a pale blue colour, the mist rolls over the valley and there is only silence on the planet of Cappadocia. Suddenly, the first rays of sunlight inundate the landscape and dozens of hot air balloons paint a coloured spectrum in the sky, floating in space above this magical planet.

Hasankeyf is in south-eastern Turkey, a very small city containing numerous natural and human wonders. Associated with a rich, ancient history, the diverse geological and archaeological particularities definitely make this village a place to visit.

On the border between Europe and Asia, Turkey opens its doors to a mysterious world of inexhaustible riches. From the Cappadocia region to Bosporus, from the Black Sea to Anatolia, Turkey offers an immense variety of cultures and landscapes to its visitors. Istanbul, capital of the Ottoman and Byzantine empires, is waiting for you at the heart of the fascinating history of Turkey. The canyons and the open-air museums of the Cappadocia region won't disappoint nature lovers, while the enormous beaches of fine sand of the almost island community of Bodrun will please people who love to relax. Go and discover sites like the Turkish Hittites, observe a sunset on the river and capture the unique atmosphere of Ottoman culture. Well-known for their kindness and generosity, the Turkish will welcome you with open arms for a total immersion in a country at the crossroads between Asia and Europe.

Sivas, despite at first sight its somewhat concrete and anarchic appearance, is a very nice city. I arrived there one May evening and immediately discovered the lively atmosphere around the busy shopping area of Atatürk Avenue and the rather chic Hükümet Square. I ate in a splendid Lokanta and looked forward with anticipation to my visit the next day.
It was the number of mosques, madrasas, baths and caravanserais from the Seljuk and Ottoman eras which surprised me the most. Sivas abounds with historical monuments! The Gök Medrese and the Grand Mosque, in their simplicity, are particularly impressive.
I was also rather captivated by the city's museum, which plunges visitors into the history of modern Turkey. The first section shows the Ottoman heritage of Sivas – which I'd partly seen in buildings that morning – and the second section is concerned with the Sivas Congress, a key part of Turkish unification in 1919.
