Cornucopia Magazine

Cornucopia is the magazine for connoisseurs of Turkey – gorgeous enough for the coffee table, yet serious enough to be found in all good academic libraries; sufficiently in-depth to be appreciated by specialists and accessible enough to be enjoyed by the layman. This is a truly remarkable publication – beautiful, uncompromising, independent and self-financing.

Tyler Brûlé in the Financial Times describes Cornucopia as ‘a cross between The World of Interiors and National Geographic, with a gentle Turkic twist.’ To Craig Brown of the Daily Telegraph it is ‘surely one of the most intelligent and beautiful glossy magazines in the world.’ In the words of The Sunday Times Travel Magazine it ‘delves into Turkey’s rich heritage, with beautiful photography, in-depth features and diary dates.’

The most recent comment is from Brian Patrick Eha in The New York Review of Magazines: ‘It’s a truism that the measure of a travel magazine’s success is whether it makes you yearn to visit the destinations it depicts. Cornucopia goes one better. It is a vacation in itself.’
