I will be taking a group of American watercolor painters to Turkey May 4-18.
We will begin our trip in Istanbul, after 4 days fly south to the Mediterranean
coast, stay 3 days painting around Kas then 5 days in Antalya. I would like to
know if there are any cultural events happening in any of these places while
we are there, as in concerts in Istanbul or watercolor exhibitions. I am a
