Roadtrip: Sinop, Black Sea

My first impression of the Black Sea. And it was bright blue and tropical looking. Not at all what I expected. I do know that the weather and area of the Black Sea gives different sceneries.

I absolutely loved Sinop, situated on a Peninsula it was entirely surrounded by the Sea. On the tip of the Peninsula, there was no one and the mountains were high creating a dramatic height difference between the sea.

The town center was full of part of a castle, sporadically shattered all over town, it must have been impressive back in the day.

I loved the parts where no one was present, as where people are, noise and trash follow. The tip was so quiet and roughly natural, just perfect.

There was some adorable wild donkeys just enjoying the sun.

We are already much further away, I'm behind with blogging, hotel wifi is not the best but I'll catch up and show you are high points of our trip. We are now in Georgia, after traveling the Turkish Black Sea coast for a few days it is time to explore this country, which is a neighboring country but everything is so different we are having a bit of a cultural shock :)

Roadtrip; Kütahya and Ankara

We are currently on a road trip. Our final stop will be Tiblisi, Georgia, it is a 2000km drive but we are making lots of stops.

 

Our first stop was in Kütahya, a place where we have at one point lived. In central Turkey, it is known for its beautiful handmade pottery and we bought some beautiful pieces. We stayed there for 1 night and then went to Ankara, the capital.

While mostly a modern city it has some beautiful old gems too.

As a Le Petit Prince fan, I had to take a photo of this building!

My favorite part was the cute little streets around the castle. It was quite hot so we didn't visit the castle itself.

We stayed for 2 nights and bought some beautiful vintage pieces for our home decor shop.

We have now reached the Black Sea, our first stop is Sinop, which will be my next blog post. I've never been to the Black Sea, so I am very excited to discover and share it!
