  The Turkish Coast from Izmir to Antalya is an area of incredible natural drama, rich in the ruins of antiquity.

It has been at the centre of Mediterranean culture and history for thousands of years, with a rich and varied literature. With accounts ranging from the excitement of archaeological discovery, or the route march of Alexander's army, to the pleasures of the hammam and Turkish cooking, this latest addition to the Through Writers' Eyes series will satisfy the appetites of travellers real and armchair. Sources range from the classical to the contemporary: from The Odyssey and Plutarch to Freya Stark, Jeremy Seal and Louis de Berniere. 'Eland has hit a goldmine with its Through Writers' Eyes series...like buying a best of compilation...you don't have to listen to the 'B' sides and you don't have to wade through the boring bits' - The Tablet .
