The Golden Apple of the Hesperides

The quintessential quince

Daffodil yellow, downy texture with a strong musky aroma the quince can scent an entire room.

When the goddess Hera married Zeus, she received a golden apple from the Earth Mother, Gaea. It was a symbol of love, fertility and beauty and was grown in a heavenly garden in the west, guarded by three sisters, the Hesperides.

  • Boating on the Bosphorus

    A million windows gaze on to the fast moving waters of the Bosphorus. The beautiful and strategic straits divide a city and link two continents. But down by the water’s edge they are a world apart, a watery playground for seadogs, fishermen and commuters. By Rose Baring. Photographs by Francesco Venturi

  • A Garden in the Levant

    The European merchants of nineteenth-century Izmir built their gardens in Bornova, below the hills where they loved to shoot and fish. Rosemary Baldwin revisits the home of the Girauds and discovers a haunting reminder of a genteel era. Photographs by Bünyad Dinç


  • The Miracle of Santa Sophia

    One thousand tons of loose glass cling suspended in the world’s largest unsupported brick dome, an architectural miracle and the last great monument of Roman architecture. By Anthony Bryer
