Greece and Turkey encompass some of the most striking landscapes in the Eastern Mediterranean, where classical ruins, historic cities, mountains, islands, and deserts create very distinct visual atmospheres. In Greece, Athens, Sounion, the Meteora Valley, and the Greek Islands combine ancient temples, historic monasteries, cliffs, deep blue sea, white villages, and dry light. In Turkey, Istanbul reveals mosques, markets, and contrasts between Europe and Asia, while Cappadocia blends arid valleys, rock formations, and hot air balloons at sunrise.

This page brings together places with their own architecture, climate, terrain, and light, guiding navigation through varied and complementary photographic settings.
