Turkey: Black Sea Hunt
Turkey is a massive country, and contains so much more than a world-class capital city (Istanbul) and picturesque Mediterranean coastline (the Turquoise Coast) — areas that visitors usually focus on. As example, meet the Black Sea region, an often remote and always scenic strip of territory running across the top of the country, bordered by sea to the north and high mountain peaks to the south.
Matador is incredibly proud to partner with Turkey Home to present: #BlackSeaHunt. Through the lenses of our Instagrammers and other social media influencers, award-winning filmmakers, and the unique perspectives and stories of our writers, we’ve produced a suite of multimedia content highlighting the Black Sea region. Scroll down and enjoy.
