Tour Overview

The world is the legacy of the future.

In memory of Hayrettin Karaca, who is known as Toprak Dede, the founding honorary chairman of TEMA

The earth needs kindness, care, and compassion, we should take care of it because we have no other home. All art, science, and technology are an imitation of nature, and nature is protected not by a guard but by love. Nature can live without man, but man cannot live after nature is destroyed. We will visit Tokat, with this tour to draw attention to desertification and drought. Tokat is located geographically at the intersection of the Black Sea and the Eastern Region all the way to central Anatolia and has a lot to offer as far as Ecological & Gastronomical aspects.
