nesrin's family vacation


Probably all of you heard about Turkey and Istanbul maybe about Izmir but I don't think any of you heard about my little town Yalova. It is by Marmara sea across Istanbul. You can easily travel to Istanbul by ferries in about an hour.Since it is that close to Istanbul. The people in Istanbul rush to Yalova in the summer for vacation. It is a touristic city because it has long and beautiful shores and beaches.
I'm so lucky since my family lives in such a touristic city. When I visit my family in the summer I also enjoy from beauty of the city.
My city has many Thermal Springs by the hills. In this Thermal area there are ponds of hot water,waterfalls,picnic areas and hotels. There is also a house in the Thermal area. This house is a museum now because the famous Turkish leader Ataturk used to stay in some summer for his vacation.
At one of the villages named Kurtkoy there are famous trout restaurants and picnic areas. Another village named Tesvikiye has a creek and many little waterfalls. It is a good place for jogging and camping.
Turkey is a beautiful country and there are many cities which have their different food and culture. Yalova is only one of them and its lucky for begin very close to Istanbul.

Having lived in that part of Turkey for nine years and on the Black Sea coast for six years I can attest to the fact that it is the closest place to Heaven on this earth. Cinarcik used to be a sleepy little burg but has since grown into an internationally known resort. I would love to return but one thing and another has prevented it. Maybe next summer!!

Do you know the person who posted the other comment? Someone read your writing about Turkey. That is very exciting!
The picture looks beautiful.

You have excellent topic and concluding sentences. They connect very well and make the reader interested in your topic. You give two good examples and details to support your ideas.

I think you mean hot springs instead of thermal springs.

I is always capitalized (instead of i).

After a period (.) you should move over two spaces.
