I have never seen before such a great hospitality as the Türks gave us. The Turkish food and culture is lovely, just like the people who live there. We are glad to make friendships, great friendships as well, and we hope that this friendship will last for a very long time. Thank them for this great week my Arkada??lar.

This was the best trip in my life! I liked the people who participated in the meeting very much. They were so friendly. Also the food was very delicious and interesting.
Turkey is a very nice country. It is very modern and full of places to visit. Iwould return to this beautiful country and to my new friends if a have a chance.

The trip to Ankara I could call one of the most interesting and magical trips ever! First of all, I have never met so many friendly people in one place and this Comenius meeting was a good chance for me to make friends from different European countries.
The family I stayed accepted me as I were their child. It was interesting to see some Turkish people daily habits and routine. There is so much love, respect for each other and warm feelings in them.
Secondly, I enjoyed the view in Soguksu National Park, especially the fossiled tree. The more I travelled, the more I fell in love with this country. Cappadocia was the biggest nature miracle I have ever seen in my life. Fairy chimneys and underground city will always stay as the most precious memories.
What did this trip give to me? I found lots of friends, tried some Turkish traditional dances and learnt to smile!

It’s so pleasant to remember our school team’s trip to Turkey and I always want to return the time back! So many experiences in one week – wonderful!
On the first day of the visit all the participants of the project gathered in Fethiye Kemal Mumcu Anatolian High School. We had a nice time there, the most enjoyable was graffiti painting! Yes, the students themselves the project’s name “National Parks of Europe!” drew on one of school’s fences! I was so proud of myself to be here, to contribute to a whole performance.
The second memorable thing during the meeting was a trip to Soguksu National Park and a visit to Kizilcahamam city mayor. I enjoyed the atmosphere during the meeting all those days: happy faces, no worries, everybody looked helpful and friendly.

Now I‘m in the airpor – coming back home from Comenius meeting in Ankara.. It‘s difficult to describe my emotions because one part of me is missing home but another one wants to stay longer in Turkey with my new friends not only from Fethiye Kemal Mumcu Anatolian High School but from many other European schools.. The staying in Ankara was a great happiness, a very nice and rich experience that can never repeat again.
I learnt many things during the trip. Firstly, it was the first time I was traveling by plane. So I really was surprised how many things people must do in the airport if they want to get into the plane. Secondly, it was the first time for me to live in a foreign family. Finally, I have always been curious to visit mosque and this time I was lucky. I’ve never thought that such school trips can be so enjoyable! Happy to be at home but missing my new friends.

Culture was incredible different than ours. In way they express theirselfes I could feel that every student is a Commenius member. Their community is very proud of their achievements and we could feel that all the time. My host family was enormous friendly. They wanted everything to be perfect. And so it was. In that time I mentally was a citizen of their society. People there are amazing. Words can’t express how did I feel that time.

When I was in my Comenius family I feld like I knew them for years. With them I forgot even ebout my nationality. Them called me "sister", "douther" and "friend" at the first day! Amazing feeling-really I have never known feeling like that, humans like that.
Turkey is beautifull country, with loyal, lovely and very friendly people.
This is my second time, when I could visit something like the fantastic places in Turkey.
