Then a visit to one of the oldest and most traditional Turkish towns, Safranbolu, inscribed on UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage list. This part of the program includes two hikes through magnificent landscapes and a journey along the Black Sea coast.<\/p>\n

And finally, a stay in Cappadocia<\/a>, also on UNESCO\u2019s World Heritage list, with walks in the countryside visiting hidden treasures of the Byzantine era (frescoes, mosaics, etc.)<\/p>\n

Three Wonders and many other memorable sights<\/p>\n

Introduction to<\/strong> Safranbolu : <\/strong><\/p>\n

At an altitude of almost 800m (756 to be precise) the old town of Safranbolu occupies a strategic position less than 100km from the Black Sea; the earliest evidence of settlement in Safranbolu dates back to the Hittite era in the 8th century BC.<\/p>\n

During the Byzantine Empire (4th-15th century) and the Ottoman which followed (1453-1923) the caravanserai (literally \u2018caravan palaces\u2019) of Safranbolu were occupied by those following various commercial routes: caravans of mules, horses, camels, carrying the riches of the Orient to the west (silks, spices, perfumes, objects in gold and silver, etc.). This staging town grew rich on the trade and many caravanserai were built in Safranbolu and its surroundings, along with numerous imposing houses for the wealthy inhabitants and luxurious \u00a0mansions (konaks). These impressive buildings of stone and mud-brick, with wooden overhanging bays, surrounded by parks and flower gardens featuring fountains, are indicators of the high level of local wealth. \u00a0Many of them have survived, been saved and restored and the konaks have been converted to comfortable hotels still surrounded by their green parks and rose gardens. Safranbolu\u2019s altitude of 800m means it is comfortable all year round, neither too hot nor too cold.<\/p>\n

To lessen the carbon footprint of this visit and thus contribute to the fight against climate change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All human activity produces CO2 and too much CO2 is responsible for the heating inherent in climate change which has resulted in a rise in sea levels, increased wild fires, floods, etc.<\/p>\n

To actively reduce the carbon footprint of your journey, SAMISTAL will plant two trees in Turkey for each person and for each week of your stay. This planting is done by the Turkish NGO TEMA.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All travelers will receive from SAM\u0130<\/strong>STAL TRAVEL<\/strong> a certificate setting out the details of the visit and the fact that the trees have been planted. You can also track your tree planting via the official website of the organization responsible for the planting.<\/p>\n

It is possible to travel responsibly without contributing to climate change despite false claims to the contrary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
