America's leading authority on European travel, returns to transport public television viewers to the continent's bustling cities, quaint villages and picturesque countryside.
In the eighth season of RICK STEVES' EUROPE, Rick rediscovers some of his favorite destinations in France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Germany, and further abroad in the multicultural crossroads of Turkey, Israel and Palestine. Each episode contains Rick's valuable insights on art, culture and history, and his practical, experience-enhancing travel advice.
"Western Turkey" - From the port of Kusadasi, we wander the streets of ancient Ephesus, soak in a natural spa at Pamukkale, learn why the dervishes whirl at Konya, munch lunch in a Turkish pizzeria, and cruise the Mediterranean on a traditional Turkish gulet from Antalya.
Turkey is a mighty nation whose ancient heritage, Muslim faith, and western ways are coming together...and we'll see how.
"Central Turkey" - We marvel at the fascinating landscape of Cappadocia from high above in a balloon...and from deep below, prowling an underground city where Christians once hid out.
We'll join a circumcision party, explore troglodyte ghost towns, shop for sheep at the market, and chat with an imam.
Then we enjoy the modern capital, Ankara, and pay our respects to the father of modern Turkey, Atatürk.
Past episodes and video clips of RICK STEVES' EUROPE are available for online viewing.
