nomads, preparing for holiday celebrations for centuries of tradition

A tradition that Central Asian Turks have participated in for centuries still lives on through nomadic cultures. Turkey’s nomadic tradition, a way of life for sheep and cattle herders, has been preserved for 5,000 years.
The Black Sea, Eastern Anatolian and Mediterranean regions of Turkey are still home to people who practice nomadic traditions.

The nomads are anxiously awaiting the Kurban bayram holiday to sell their cattle in the cities. As a result of this, they are migrating to the cities from their mountain homes to earn money. Then they will return to the mountains to breed new cattle for next year’s bayram holidays.

The tradition of nomadic life in Central Anatolia began because of the needs of the grazing animals. During the summer months, nomadic Turks migrate to warmer places where they can find large pastures for their cattle.

The stockbreeders who practice nomadic lives travel to Anatolia’s plateaus to find suitable places for their cattle. The migration is a ceremony for nomads. Currently, with the bayram approaching, they are readying to visit the cities.

Bayram migration

The ceremonial and traditional journey of the stockbreeders begins with Kurban bayram, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice. This month, nomads will begin the journey with their sheep, cows and goats. They need to protect their animals from wildlife because of anticipated attacks from bears, wolves and foxes. Dogs help to protect the cattle from wild predators.

Stockbreeders will first visit their villages and then will compete to sell the cattle for the bayram.

The end of the migration does not only have one aim. Nomads also sell fresh butter, milk and cheese to the city-dwellers.

With their earned money, the nomadic Turks will buy feed, barley, bran and corn for their animals. This money will also help them to pass the winter months in their villages. After the cold winter months they will once again migrate to the warm large pastures to feed their animals with fresh air and fresh feed.

This is a result of a life that depends on animals. This fall once again the nomads of Turkey will be on the roads, not only to sell cattle and dairy products, earning them their livelihood, but also to discover Turkey and some of its barely traversed lands.

September sunshine on the shores of the Aegean is a sweet place to silence the noise stopped

I love the months of September, my ayımdır, because I was born in this month. I try to always live in September for his pleasure. I did so again and hit the road at the beginning of September last year. My intention, after the feast relatively sessizleşen gönlümce dolaşmaktı southern coast. This is to be a vacation trip, taking pictures, taking notes, would not rush to scurry on the mountain slope.
I went, I've traveled, ate and read. All of these actions that he gave as good as I did, I could not share them with you.
On the road, I started eating and drinking business Akhisar. I would go to Akhisar Köftesi'yle longing. The taste still lingers like the meatball was at a time.
My first stop was Kusadasi. Each time as I did, the sun sunk Kismet Hotel's scenic bar. Walk about the environment when he was sitting where, how much concrete buildings çirkinleştirdiğine winds is this beautiful, once again I am sorry.
Six Historic Plane eat dinner, "way better" duraklarımın flavor was the favorite of most. This restaurant, watching the pleasure of dining in very few places I lived in the sea bird's eye view. As usual, a variety of appetizers made from local herbs, extra virgin olive oil, almost floating in the legs, octopus, squid filled, in the end, enjoy the fresh sea çıkarta çıkarta I had the sea bass.

PARADISE GOKOVA

The next day, the breath of Marmaris and Datca, Gokova Gulf area overlooking Bördübed bought a small holiday village. Which is founded on the banks of a stream in the forest, this property is small, it was a place based on the full cinime. The sound of a bird, chasing each other ducks bağırtılarından, a kind of breathtaking uninterrupted cızırtısından other sound heard, August beetles. Plenty of time to read books just put my mind staying here. Me (a bit exaggerating) I had enough books. I got the breath of the beach of the facility without delay. Reached under a pine tree, rushed between the lines.

Sunset

Described in books so interesting, that my head for five days little kaldırmadım books. Bunaldıkça heat, jumped into the sea swam a long time. I miss how much difference such a monotonous life. Last day out of the hills, and watched the sun set in Gokova. Hours in the mountains of the Datca Peninsula, all the details that were lost. Each other, leaving the differences in tone. Dark smoke, blackened silver, gray-black a lot ... One was sitting in the foothills of smoke. The foot of the hill, beating the waves, the coast turned into white foam.
Holding the sun disappearing at the end of Datca, the car's drive Calarina Bizet "Pearl Hunters" to put it. Nadir's aria listen, look at the reflection of sun, sea orange dream journey went on.
Of course I did not neglect this beautiful moment mataramdaki sweeten with malt whiskey.

Staining Bays MEDITERRANEAN BLUE

Climbed a book bag with me "fall break" before the second section, I will stop in the flavor near Datca Peninsula. One of the places to enjoy eating dinner, was the Selimiye Sardinia. It gave the sea a restorandı shoulder. Tables had taken refuge in the shade of banana trees. Connected to the pier in front of foreign-flagged yachts, the dream was causing their journey. Familiar but delicious entrees, the sea çıkanlarla Chinese spring rolls wrapped, stuffed zucchini blossoms season arrivals, bouncing tartılırken balance of fresh fish, in addition to all this, a dark blue sea ... All of these people, eating and drinking enough to touch.
Another address was in the village of Willow Bozburun. Restaurant "Landscape" in the name of the really deserved. Accompanied by a cool wind across the islands, the boats are far away, a sea of ​​indigo blue phosphorescence oynaştığı, against the hills, bright, warm sleeping under a yellow fields ışıltının ... This is the magnificent picturesque landscape, a modest restorandı. This family of Dara Bircan lady of the house had starring entity.

Gocek BLESSINGS

After finishing our journey Bozburun'daki Göcek turned the steering wheel. Since it is difficult to reach by land remaining virgin town for many years, together with the construction of roads in the lap had done. Surrounding hills "triplex" villas, began to appear like mushrooms. The town is slowly losing the old property. Shops, restaurants concentrated around the port. I took a fish feast at the restaurant on the beach Lemon.
End of the season is quite a reasonable price for the rent a little boat bays have opened up to the right. Muhammet'ti young captain's name. Walks us through summer, tourists, was fishing in winter.
We stopped at the beginning of the chain of islands, bays of Göcek Island before bed sheets. When I thought boyandığımı the sea blue. Swam the shadows of the pines upon the sea. Muhammad brandishing a fishing rod when I found the boat. Akyaların fish flapping in front of the leak was small. I özendim him, but the two of us, even a fish and a tavalık yakalayamadık.
Then Yassica yanaştık Island. Ediciydi drive so that the sea here, again, without drying out mayomun atılıverdim waters. Then Olive Island, Pig Island behind her saying it was time. Shipyard Island, making the engine stern, sat on the beach restaurant. Keeper of the island operated under the arbor, fresh yoghurt mayaladığı guard his wife, he did the goat cheese, green olives are breaking all the family all together, made of crimson domatesleriyle shepherd garden salad, warm bread with the production of the additive by themselves, we ate a delicious lunch. After dinner, the boat reached under gölgeliğinin, I stopped myself okşamalarına wind. From my bed, I watched the waters into the blue of indigo mixed with dark blue to purple.

HOLIDAY FAREWELL

Muhammad left the route. I told him to take milk harbor coves. We were then Sıralıbük'e before Bedri Rahmi Bay. Bedri Rahmi, in 1973, and Sabahattin Eyuboğlu Azra Erhat with the move out of the blue bay and anchored next to a fountain made of a stone figure of a fish. Bedri Rahmi Bay after the name of the village, formerly known as Tasyaka had begun.
Bay, the sea, leaving myself with clay, I threw off me lunch stupor. From there Boynuzbükü, Akbükü saying, I was out to sea on Enter subtracting time. Gocek Port Mohammad vedalaşırken him, told him was coming to the winter fishing. Time I boarded the car for the return path, pink clouds in a place far away "yarn rain" I saw turned into. Vacation was over now. Life for a while, I pressed the brake, the ride was going full throttle.

BOOKS

Write a wish of the journey before

German author Winfried Löschburg'un "Cultural History of Travel" was the first I read the book. I have made the book very interesting information. For example, travelers 18'ici century until the beginning of the daily cruising speed, the average ranged from 25 to 60 kilometers. During that period, I mean travel, often meant a long walk.
Journeys in the middle of the century in the book is narrated as follows: "People before traveling lets you streamline your work, and wrote vasiyetnamelerini. Passing across Europe, Siberia, who want to reach such a journey had to separate for one year. A ship set out from France, through the Cape of Good Hope to China, reaching about 650 a day, round trip to Peru three lasted more than four years. Big-bellied wooden ships in port for weeks, sometimes waiting for the appropriate wind emergence. There was a sea-voyage in a more ambiguous. One of every ten passengers who set off towards the U.S., the goal could not be reached any time ... "

FIRST PASSENGER TRAIN FIRST CAMPAIGN suitcase

"Cultural History of Travel" from the tour guide as I learn from nitelendirilecek first book was published in England. In 1836 the London publisher John Murray wrote the "Red Book" by the book, the Netherlands, Belgium and the Rhine area is narrated sight-seeing places. I learn from a book we use today such suitcases 1870, he emerged with the expansion of rail traffic around. The first railway line in England on September 25, 1825, was opened between Stockton-Darlington. Train service in America in 1829, 1831, in France, Belgium and Germany, in 1835, Austria and Russia in 1837, the Netherlands and Italy began in 1839. In 1843 the first trains on cross-country, between Belgium and Germany were.
Max von Weber, trains before the journey, described: "fathers getting into the mail car, she wore a huge, gray coats, fur hood and heads, heavy boots and thick gray wool socks to remember who that? .. Those who wears the worst clothes of the journey, so that the car is dirty and, aldırmazlardı wrinkle. Piponun homemade sandwiches and counseling of the pockets had to be large enough. Drum made of wood, iron and very heavy suitcases. Women, early hood, feet, shoes and the tops of cotton felt, even if they çirkinleştirip paltolarla rough, would try to protect against the dangers of traveling ... "
Again, I learn from the book's first tourist trip, a carpenter and itinerant preacher, Thomas Cook, the British organized. Berlin's first world tour in 1878, the brothers Carl and Louis Stangen marketed. Seven people attended the tour lasted eight months.

GEZGİNİN BODY SHOULD BE RESISTANT

As you might expect a book so full of interesting information that I finished in one breath. Journeys at the beginning of the century, the challenges as you read, I prayed that revs traveler am not. Because he could not bear to field trips every Babayiğit. The book says of that period sıralanıyordu Requirements for browsers: "the traveler, the body must be strong and healthy. All journeys should withstand, according to the situation, or a car trolley alabilmeli road day and night, eating in front of what içebilmelidir konursa. Flimsy and delicate that the slightest inconvenience to the people in their homes otursunlar yılacak better ... "

50 SPHERICAL SIZE OF THE LARGEST SHIP

The second day I started reading the book was about the discovery. Joachim G. Leithauser German writer named "the world beyond the horizon" in his book tells the story of discovery of the world. This book had some interesting information. For example, Christopher Columbus, America was amazed to learn the size of the ships used during the journey of discovery. At that time, the size of the ships, "tun" is the same. Tun, was the name given fıçılarına great wine. The amount listed in the bottom of the deck tun, the size of the vessel showed. Columbus' time when the largest of the vessels was about 50 tun. In other words, the famous explorer had crossed the oceans in ships the size of 50 barrels.
The book, by all accounts, he had no speed boats, kitchen and cook. The only way is used for cooking, in a corner of the deck, the fire burned to the floor by laying sand. Given a hot meal once a day, the sailors will use all the dishes and the hands of the only places where a wooden bowl. Types of food is often undercooked, salted meat and hard tack with the peas, lentils, and Pisces. The need for toilet sitting on a chair in the gunwale sarkıtılan made of everyone's ironic gaze.
I learned from this book what it meant to the Pacific Ocean. Fernão de Magellan, Portuguese navigator, first saw the ocean air so calm, so that was like linen, here, "Sea of ​​Tranquility," which means "Hand Mare Pacifico" he called.hürriyet
