Turkey opens a new tourist route along the path of the ancient Greek army to the Black Sea
Turkey's tourism promotion agency has launched the 'Northern Route of the Anabasis', the third stage of the 'Route of Ancient Cities' project, linking Erzurum, Bayburt, Gümüşhane and Trabzon. The route follows the path of the ten thousand Greek mercenaries described by Xenophon after the Battle of Cunaxa in 401 BC.
