There is a distinct Oriental flavor to Istanbul and also all over Eastern Turkey. Western Turkey is ancient Anatolia, essentially Eastern Greece for centuries. Sites like Hisarlik, ancient Troy, are crucial for understanding the very roots of Western civilization, art, drama, even opera. Besides the food is fresh, affordable, plentiful, and Turkey, especially in the fall when we will be there, will be among the least crowded corners in Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-2-Blue-Mosque-Dome.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-2-Blue-Mosque-Dome.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" border=\"0\"  class=\"img-responsive\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">KB: What place or site are you most excited about taking participants to visit on this <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/current-tours\/a-sacred-journey-to-turkey-with-phil-cousineau\/tour-description\" target=\"_blank\">sacred journey to Turkey<\/a><\/u>? <\/span><\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>PC: The Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Troy, which I read about as a boy, Ephesus, the most intact ancient city, thanks to the German archaeologists, the ports along the south, Catal Huyuk, the ruins of the oldest known city, and Konya, where we will visit the tomb of the Shakespeare of the East, as Mevlana Rumi is known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Phil-Cousineau.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Phil-Cousineau.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\"  class=\"img-responsive\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><i style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">KB: This journey is built around \u201clong conversations\u201d \u2013 what is it about Turkey as a destination (and this particular journey) that lends itself so well to conversation, pilgrimage and exploring the concept of spiritual\/sacred travel?<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/i><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">PC: Over thirty years of leading tours and workshops I have found that it is in these Long Conversations where the real meaning of our travels finally emerges. These journeys are not just about viewing things, which can be voyeuristic, but in experiencing the world \u2013 and then reflecting about the experiences. The casual pace of travel around Turkey, the immense depths of history, such as knowing we will visit three of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, are so provocative they call out to us to be more contemplative.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-5-Ephesus-Library.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-5-Ephesus-Library.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"320\" border=\"0\"  class=\"img-responsive\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>KB: What can participants expect from this journey to Turkey that they wouldn\u2019t find elsewhere?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>PC: Time, contemplation, local speakers, friends for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-9-Dervishes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sacredearthjourneys.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Day-9-Dervishes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"320\" height=\"213\" border=\"0\"  class=\"img-responsive\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>KB: Sufism and Rumi also strongly feature in this journey: Do participants need any prior knowledge of the works of Rumi or of Sufism?
