Starting in Afyon we see a city that was attacked within history, but now celebrates victory and has become a gateway for Turkey as a crossroads for railways. A stop in Aksehir sees a town where history is so ingrained that each train station appears like a museum, “afraid to wake up the history from its sleep”. After travelling through Turkeys’ widest plains, the final stop is Konya, ‘the land of love’. Konya is a city that embodies modern life, yet retains its historical and religious culture, its beautiful temples and mosques, and its festivals, traditions and working lifestyles
