About

Hi, my name is Kamil Uğraş Türkoğlu. I’m Turkish and a geography teacher.

I like my country very much. In my lectures in the classroom I feel how right I am with love while explaining the geographical wealth of Turkey, its historical background, its touristic values.

We opened this blog with a friend of my English teacher. Unfortunately I'm not as good at English as I am about geography. We got started on this fascinating and challenging work with her. I appreciate her not leaving me alone on this road.

I do not know how Turkey looks in the world. There is something I know; The news is often reflected in negative developments. I also see this blog as an opportunity to change the prejudices about my country. I hope I can remove these prejudices.

Navigate and read our blog. Do not hesitate to ask anything you wonder.. The Turkish people are helpful . And once in your life, visit Turkey's magnificent geography.

As a last word; Turkey can notbe told, is experienced.

These winds blowing from the Black Sea leave the first snowfall of 1606 meters in Marmara. For this reason, Kartepe on the Samanlı Mountain range is preferred by ski lovers in the immediate vicinity. Within the boundaries of Kocaeli, the Kartepe Ski Center is located 16 kilometers from the Maşukiye district. The best time for s...

St. Irene Church is both the first church and the first museum of Istanbul! The name of the Hagia Irini comes from the name of Hagia Eirene (Aziz İren) which means "Sacred Peace". Let's take a look at the legendary history and architectural structure of this mosque, which has a history of about 2,500 years. The influence of Saint Iren on Rome It is a young woman named Penelope who gave the name to the St. Irene Church . According to the legend, like many other Romans, she came to Constantinople at the time when Great Constantine rebuilt the city as a capital. Penelope, a faithful Christian, endeavors to introduce the people of Rome to Jesus.
