Aegean Turkey has always been attractive. It has a natural beauty; its climate is warm; its land is fertile; its seas abound in fish. Uncounted numbers of people have lived and loved here for centuries, nor has the attraction of their work diminished. Each of the places had some salient quality that drew people – water, a hill that could be defended, crossroads, ore, a legend – and effected the kind of community it was.
