Our Commitment

Closer to the places, lighter on them

On the Bosphorus the boat is ours alone, a private yacht between Europe and Asia rather than a crowded ferry. On Lake Van a boat takes us out to Akdamar Island, and in Avanos we visit potters working the clay of the Red River. Eight travelers fit through a workshop door. Thirty do not.
