“When we consider the great number of European and American travellers
who annually visit the Levant, it is strange how seldom any of them
extends his journey into Northern Syria, or the adjacent provinces of
Turkey in Asia. [...] Northern Syria is almost a “terra incognita” [...] The
adjacent territory of Karamania is almost equally unvisited, and only once
perhaps in every thirty years does a European traveller painfully make his
way through some portion of the province. The only other Europeans who
care to visit it are a few buyers of walnut wood, or leech merchants, chiefly
Greeks, whose one aim is to forward their trade interests, and on whom the
wonderful antiquities and surpassing beauties of the country naturally
make but little impression.” (Davis, E.J., Life in Asiatic Turkey, London
1879; Preface, Alexandria, November, 1878)
