The experienced journalist Annabelle Thorpe of the Telegraph introduced Turkey’s four tranquil cities (Cittaslow).


In her article, Thorpe likened one of the four districts, Akyaka, to Turkey, where she fell in love approximately 30 years ago. She highlighted Akyaka’s calmness by stating, “Today is Sunday morning, but it could be any day of the week. Akyaka is not a place to rush.”

Thorpe, having observed the changes in many towns in Turkey over the last 30 years, compared Akyaka to the country she fell in love with. Unlike holiday resorts like Marmaris, Akyaka offers a more serene pace of life, allowing one to enjoy the flow of life.


Akyaka, with its natural beauty, captivates visitors especially during spring and autumn…

Perfect for water sports and nature walks, Akyaka awaits exploration along the banks of the Azmak River and the paths within the Akyaka Forest.


The Azmak River stands out with its flawless blend of blue and green. The Akyaka Forest leads visitors through large greenery to the coastal cafes for a casual breakfast.

In second place, the city of Foça in Izmir, which received the title of ‘tranquil city’ in 2021.


With historical buildings from the Ottoman era, small shops, and boutique hotels, Foça grabs Annabelle Thorpe’s second choice.

The travel writer notes that many tourists visit Old Foça, but she seems quite impressed with Foça’s natural beauty and historical structure spread between two gulfs.

In third place is Seferihisar, the first town in Turkey to receive the ‘tranquil city’ title.


Seferihisar, located in Izmir, which received the ‘tranquil city’ status in 2009, is surrounded by Urla to the north, and the Aegean Sea to the west and south.

In her article, Thorpe highlights that the city’s street lamps run on solar energy. She points out the ecological market open six days a week and the town’s peaceful structure.

At the bottom of the list is Köyceğiz, which received the ‘tranquil city’ title in 2019, where the Mediterranean and Aegean regions merge.


Köyceğiz, welcoming visitors with its rich natural beauty, houses citrus orchards and Köyceğiz Lake, from which the district takes its name. Thorpe refers to Köyceğiz as a ‘nearly overlooked town’ by tourists, describing it as a serene lakeside town.

For those considering visiting Köyceğiz, she recommends forest walks, boat trips, dining by the water, and a visit to the organic market held on Mondays.

  Disturbing Photos That Make You Feel Like No One Should See Them Don’t forget to comment on which one is more disturbing. A vendor’s collection of glass eyes. A strange machine used in 1932 to achieve beauty. Another disturbing photo taken during the Victorian era. A man proudly posing with his collection of heads. Medical students practicing on a table that reads, “A human’s usefulness doesn’t end even after death.” A man wearing a special mask designed to treat cancer on his face and neck in England in 1924.

  Roma’nın En Hüzünlü ve Şanssız İmparatorlarından Birisi: Claudius Tarih boyunca cesareti, zalimliği, sertliği ve savaşçı ruhuyla tanınan imparatorlar oldu. Ancak bazı hükümdarlar, yaşamlarında derin duygusal unsurlar taşıyarak gözlemleyenleri hatta üzüntüye sevk edebildi. Roma İmparatoru Claudius da böyle bir şanssız hükümdardı. Claudius, M.Ö. 10 yılında İtalya dışında, Galya’da doğmuştu. Çocukluğundan beri tarihe büyük bir ilgisi vardı. Buna rağmen siyasete katılamadı. İlk kez, yeğeni Caligula ile birlikte 37 yılında konsül olarak göreve başladı. Caligula, Tiberius’un vasiyetiyle imparator olmuştu; Claudius ise devlet işlerinden uzak tutuldu. Fiziksel ve zihinsel rahatsızlıkları onu bürokrasiden uzak tuttu. O zamanlar, Claudius’un imparator olabileceğini düşünen olmamıştı. Claudius, doğuştan sakat bir ayağa sahipti. Omuzları ve dizleri zayıftı, başı titriyor, bazen ağzından tükürük akıyordu. Elleri zayıftı ve bazen heyecanlandığında veya sinirlendiğinde burnu akardı. Ancak ...

  It’s Not Just About Physical Spaces: What is Liminal Space and How Does It Affect You? Liminal spaces represent a process of transformation, both physical and mental, and are therefore an important concept in many different disciplines. Let’s examine what it is! Source:  https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/general/understanding-how-liminal-space-is-different-from-other-places/ If you’re like most people, you may have noticed that there are certain places or situations where you feel off or uncomfortable. Such places can often be places such as empty bus stops and airport terminals. Often, these disturbing spaces can be described as liminal spaces. Liminal space comes from the Latin word “limen” meaning “threshold”. It may also be referred to as ‘liminality’. Such spaces often have a desolate atmosphere and are associated with an aesthetic disconnected from the concept of reality. At the same time, such places are waiting areas between one point and the next point in time and s...
