To Turkey - for the May weekend (2)

Why did we choose the "all inclusive" for the May weekend in Turkey? The Polish May Days holiday has its own rules - you have to get out of  the city. You can go to your summer house, you can either go to the Polish seaside, or you can go to the Polish mountains. The risk is the unpredictable weat...

To Turkey - for the May weekend (1)
