A word from the Editor


Wow, so here we go, a whole year has gone by since we launched On The Ege! Can you believe it?

A whole year of bringing you health tips, advice, details of off the beaten track excursions and hopefully showing you ‘our’ Turkey, the one that romanced us to settle on its shores and make lives for ourselves. I hope we have stuck to our promises and given you a quality magazine full of interesting subjects and I hope that the contributors who have committed to this project have been appreciated for their labours of love.

So, all together now........’Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday On The Ege, happy birthday to you’.

In this issue, the team are back and keeping you abreast of all what’s been going on in their chosen subjects for the past month but sadly, our Jack is saying goodbye to Turkey and returning to the UK. We will miss his quirky and astute view of the expat world but will continue with the serialisation of his enormously popular book ‘Perking the Pansies, Jack and Liam move to Turkey’ in our pages for the coming months.  I doubt returning to the UK will subdue his pen however and I’m sure he has plenty more tales to tell of his time in Turkey.

We will continue to keep this publication in a magazine style and away from the blog style that has become extremely popular. So popular in fact, I’m sure there isn’t a subject anywhere that is not covered somewhere by someone in the virtual world!

We do hope you continue to enjoy and of course, as always, if you have any suggestions or ideas for our humble mag, please get in touch.

Thank you for your readership, we are nothing without you and remember, life is an adventure so let’s live it on the Ege.
