Cards from Turkey

Cards sent by "cappion".
 
One of my surprise partners was "cappion" but instead of 1 she sent 2 great cards from Turkey.
"Bodrum is a turkish port town in Mugla Province, in the southwestern Aegean Region of the country. Bodrum Castle, built by the Crusaders in the 15th century, overlooks the harbor and the International Marina. The castle grounds includes a Museum of Underwater Archeology and hosts several cultural festivals throughout the year." in: wikipedia
Kars is a city in northeast Turkey and the capital of Kars Province. As a settlement at the juncture of Turkish, Caucasian, Kurdish, Russian, and Armenian cultures, the buildings of Kars come in a variety of architectural styles.
Some of those buildings are these on the card, the ruins of an old palace, The church of St. Gregory of the Abughamrents in Ani, a minaret, the Church of the Apostles, built in the early 10th century and Kars citadel.
