:- ''On the Turkish coast, opposite Symi, a Greek island of which I am a worshiper. The sun was hitting hard, I remembered the ancient cities that had settled in the region: Priene, Miletus, Ephesus, Knidos, … I was thinking of Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, who passed here; I love the Turkish bays, those of Fethiye, Kekova, Marmaris, Hisaronu and so many others so beautiful. It is the cradle of philosophy, of science, and it is here that our Western culture was born''. Jean d'Ormesson
