We Travel to Göbekli Tepe near the Turkish/Syrian Border, for a Homeschool Field Trip Ep48

With Turkey’s incursion into Northern Syria, the Turkish/Syrian border is headline news at the moment for all the wrong reasons, but when we visited in July 2019, it was relatively peaceful and safe. We sincerely hope the recent conflict finds a speedy and peaceful outcome because it is a fantastic part of the world with great people – an internationally important cultural and historical area that deserves protection and peace.
Known as ‘Zero Point in Time’ Göbekli Tepe’ is the oldest known monument in the world and changes everything we thought we knew about the evolution of civilisation. Only recently unearthed and shrouded in mystery this ‘Temple’ site has archaeologists baffled. The visitor centre opened only this year but with the conflict in Syria still raging, there were very few western visitors here – in fact we almost had the place to ourselves!
We found the Turks friendly, warm and welcoming and enjoyed genuine Turkish hospitality unburdened by the usual trappings associated with western tourist hotspot.
The 24 hour bus journey took us form Bodrum to Sanliurfa, one of Turkey’s great pilgrimage cities and we dove headlong into Turkish culture and heritage by checking out the local Bazaar, the Sacred Fish Ponds (Gölbasi area) and the new museum complex. It was definitely one of the highlights of our adventures so far that will be difficult to top!

Mothership Adrift Travel and Sailing
We're a UK family who have saved over many years to live the dream of travelling the world with our kids. We sold our belongings, closed our business and rented our house to buy a 20 year old sailboat . We want to show the kids that there is a bigger world out there and to appreciate the simple things in life, things that you find in the sea, the woods, up mountains, along the beach , the sky and the stars. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of a live-aboard life! From buying a boat to homeschooling the kids, from cooking on a budget to making money while we travel, from sailboat maintenance to visiting amazing places - join our journey and share in our world adventure, as well as the challenges of family life, through our series of video blogs.
