Black Sea and north Turkey, by Martin Roberts

The original plan for this cruise was to circumnavigate the Black Sea, but plans had to change when the Crimea became out of bounds. Martin’s journey in his Moody 336 began in Thessaloniki, stopping at the World War I sites at Gallipoli and then Istanbul and on to Romania and Bulgaria before visiting several ports along the north coast of Turkey, finishing on Leros. He avoided the war zone, but encountered the refugee problem on the way.
