The Annapolis Valley is a great place to explore.

Some members of the club have mentioned 
that they wish to venture farther.
 

Are you tired of Nova Scotia Architecture? Newcomers Club members Gweneth and Bob Wallace want to take you on a Tour of Greece and Turkey!  Aladdin, King Midas, the Charge of the Light Brigade, Antony and Cleopatra, Santa Claus, Florence Nightingale, the Trojan Horse, Gallipoli, Whirling Dervishes, Saint Paul. What do all these have in common? They all took place in what is now Turkey. Modern Turkey is an amazing mix of sophisticated cities like Istanbul and unspoiled rural countryside like the hoo-doo land of Cappadocia.

   All this, along with the wonders of Greece, 
are part of a tour led by newcomer members, 
Bob and Gwynneth Wallace, 
departing August 30th for a 17 day journey 
following the footsteps of St. Paul.
(Club members will take a bus)

The Wallaces have conducted many tours 
over the past 20 years including several to Israel, 
to South Africa, Germany, Austria and more. 
They have found Turkey to be one of the friendliest lands 
they have visited, where school children 
are taught to befriend tourists!
In addition, surprising to many,

 Turkish cuisine is rated second in the world, 
exceeded only by the French. 

 The tour begins in Istanbul and ends Athens, 
and includes northern Greece, 
rarely a part of the tourist itinerary. 
Along with the wellknown highlights of Greece 
there will be a day cruise visiting 
three picturesque Saronic islands off Athens.
