Hello,

Here is a photo of my students who are joining this project.They gave the reasons why they had chosen these heritage sites as this:"Cappadocia because it occured as a result of volcanic eruptions and a wonder of the nature" and "Safranbolu as it is an example of the best preserved Anatolian town,which is like a virtual open-air museum.

Introducation

Dear all, How are you doing?

I would like to announce my students' decision about the sites to choose.I had expected them to choose one or two sites in Istanbul but they wanted to write about "City of Safranbolu" and "Göreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia."They will explain why they have chosen these two sites themselves.

Warmly, Huri Cinar
