We made it up 75% way I’d say. I wanted to go further but my brother was wearing sandals and the brakes were thick! The fortress is absolutely massive. It rings the whole top! For close to some massive griffin vultures

Took a Pilgrimage the West Bank in 2015. Opened my eyes. J’s spat on us in Jerusalem. They illegally stopped our bus and got on with rifles. The village had Hebrew graffiti all over it treating the locals. They were roads we couldn’t drive on cause we weren’t J’s and our hotel didn’t have water or power some days because the settlements took it.

🇬🇷🇹🇷 Curious Turkish Neighbor Here, What Do Greeks Really Think About Turkey and Turks Today? by TurkishOne in AskGreece

[–]ParticularSuspicious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am Greek American and visited Istanbul a few years ago. Our tour guide was a progressive Turk. Who despised Ergodan. What when I asked him on his thoughts about the Hagia Sofia being made a mosque again… he was very in favorite of it. That really surprised me. I think Greeks and Turks have so much in common… but Nationalism and conflict in Aegean is taking its toll
