CORNUCOPIA HIGHLIGHTS #11 |
ANATOLIAN TRAVEL ISSUE |
Cover
Story Aphrodite's Domain By John Julius Norwich Photographs by
Ara Güler | 
| The finest school of sculpture in
all antiquity was in Aphrodisias. Above the valleys of the Meander in Turkey's Aegean hinterland, this
favourite city of the Emperor Augustus remained largely unknown until the photographer Ara Güler brought
it to the attention of the Princeton scholar Kenan T Erim in 1959. Here Ara Güler returns to the city
and John Julius Norwich recalls Professor Erim and his first impressions of the sculptures that took his
breath away. |  |
|
Churches of the Rock By David Barchard Photographs by Sigurd
Kranendonk | 
| High on the central Anatolian plateau, the craggy undulations of
Cappadocia's volcanic landscape conceal a silent world: countless Byzantine sanctuaries and cathedrals
lovingly hollowed from the rock. David Barchard finds two valleys undisturbed since the Dark
Ages. | |
|
Lake Shore Drive John Ash at the ruins of Kubadabad Photographs by Sigurd Kranendonk and John Ash | 
| Golden masonry is all that remains of the Palace of Kubadabad, the legendary retreat built for a
Seljuk sultan by the cool, calm waters of Lake Beysehir. John Ash, a New York poet, finds a land
entranced | |
|
Divan Inspiration John
Carswell in Amasya and Tokat Photographs by Simon
Upton | 
| Amasya, Tokat and Merzifon were once on the trade routes to China,
centres of scholarship and commerce. Today they are secluded enclaves of traditional pleasures. John Carswell
enjoys a feast of delicate architecture and heady wines. Left: Ilk Pansyon, Amasya | |
|
A
Stranger in Paradise Louise Page Morris talks to Sinan
Korle | 
| In 1923, Louise Page Morris left the United
States for a new life in Turkey, where her husband had been posted by an American tobacco company. Now in her
nineties, last year she talked to the late Sinan Korle, head of protocol at the UN, about the most enduring
memories of her stay in a land "beautiful beyond dreams" | |
