I feel very lucky since I live in Turkey and see all the beautiful landscapes in my country. I passed my university years in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. I feel very lucky because I studied at one of the best universities of Turkey, Middle East Technical University. Throughout university years, I got the chance of discovering amazing and interesting places in Ankara. Almost all of them have historical importance. Here is my favourite places that I would like you to see one day.
