Turkish Coast is an anthology of writings about Turkey’s south-western shore through the eyes of the authors, diarists and famous observers who have been there. Rich in antiquity and still a comparatively unspoilt corner of the world, the Turkish coast between Izmir and Antalya is an area of beauty and drama.

The book is arranged thematically, with writings on the sea, flora and fauna, the ancient coast, nineteenth and twentieth century travellers, Ottoman episodes, and expeditions, archaeology and discoveries. Included are contributions from works by Byron, Freya Stark, Plutarch, Louis de Bernière, Homer, Edith Wharton and many, many more.
