About The Christopher Deliso Blog

This blog celebrates the singularities and unexpected revelations of the Balkans. That is on the good days. Other times there is just news from the 'industry' and my opinions on it.

Belfast Paper Invites You to Byzantium

December 05, 2008 • Comments Turkey

Interesting. A Belfast newspaper has taken up as an organizing principle for travel the whole theme of the Byzantine Empire (since much of the content revolves around Turkey, I have to put it in the 'Turkey' category, no offense to the rest).

It does an admirable job of mentioning far-flung locales. I would like it better without the 'Former Yugoslav' appendage to Macedonia's name. But it is a worthwhile concept which incidentally I suggested to a certain guidebook company some 7 years ago now. Perhaps the world is getting closer to being ready for such a concept.
