A Native's Voice

Have you ever noticed that all the guidebooks about Turkey are written by foreigners? Thinking that those "who know the country better than us" could not promote Turkey well enough, Serif Yenen decided to write a book in his style. Turkish Odyssey by Serif Yenen based on his formation as a guide for many years is now on the market. And the Turkish translation of the original book in English is underway. Besides, a website has been prepared within his project "Promoting Turkey". For more information: www.turkishodyssey.com
