COVER STORY
 

FUTURE PERFECT

THE LAKE THAT TIME FORGOT:

LAKE KOYCEGIZ I

REFLECTIONS
ON WATER

By Patricia Daunt
 

Photographs:

Minutes from the Mediterranean, Lake Koycegiz is a beautiful backwater lost in time. Cornucopia devotes 40 pages to the lake, its people, its unique basket houses and the house that Ali Riza Pasha built

LAKE KOYCEGIZ 2

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE

By Patricia Daunt
 

Photographs:
Fritz von der Schulenburg

Sema Menteseogly returned to Koycegiz in 1992, after thirty years, to find her family home in perilous disrepair. Just a handful of people remained in the ancestral village. She set about putting house and estate in order and brought her painterly eye to the restoration of the konak, now well advanced and embellished with her own creations.

Photographs:
Fritz von der Schulenburg

 

The whole Koycegiz area is famous for its dwellinjgs of woven wood. The best surviving ones are in Hamitkoy, on the lake's eastern shore. These unique primitive habitations, now abandoned for concrete dwellings probably date back to antiquity

HISTORY: MUSIC
 

ODE TO A SULTAN

By Emre Araci

When Sultan Abdulaziz embarked on his unprecedented state tour of Europe in 1867, no expense was spared in making him welcome. What most impressed him, it seems, were the musical extravaganzas: visits to the opera, glittering concerts and massed choirs trained to sing his praises in Turkish.

 

 


HISTORY: GALLIPOLI
 

BRAVE OLD WORLD

By William Gurney

The sad, heroic history of Gallipoli is written in every gully and ridge of the beautiful peninsula. William Gurney combs the battleground for clues

 


TRADE SECRETS
