"At this, Homeric time, the Sea was
not navigable and was called 'Axenos', meaning
inhospitable because of its wintry
storms and the ferocity of the tribes that lived around
it, particularly the Scythians, in that they sacrificed
strangers...but later it was called 'Euxeinos,' meaning
friendly to strangers when the Ionians founded cities on
the
seaboard" Strabo, Geography.
Wildly beautiful and steeped in
history, art and culture, Turkey's Black Sea Region
remains "an undiscovered paradise." With this unique
itinerary Peten Travel will lead you off the beaten
tourist tracks, taking you to natural sites that are
simply breathtaking and leading you under the tutelage
of expert guides to unforgettable cultural and
historical remnants and artifacts. This is also a
journey into culture and a unique society as you have
the opportunity to witness Black Sea life and customs,
much of which are very different from the traditional "Anatolian."
