Pasaport Izmir: Loti was a devoted "Constantinopliphile' and wrote two of his strange, dreamy masterpieces, half novel, half narrative, about his experiences here, namely Aziyade and Fantdme d'Orient. Part of the second one is supposed to have been written in a humble outdoor cafe on high ground above the inner end of the Golden Horn and certainly he did spend many hours there, indulging his fancies and memories. In all the region he could not have found a lovelier spot, as you will agree when you treat yourself to a kahve or tchai in the same establishment, which is quite as humble as in his day and six or seven decades more decrepit.
Three very important places easy to reach from Istanbul have been mentioned as Bursa, pasaport izmir (with the Ephesus ruins) and Ankara.This book is about travel in Europe, so only sparse notes will be given hereinafter about the tourist richness of Anatolia, but it is important to mention here that the network of Turkish State Airlines, a modern, well-run system, enables the traveler to reach such centers as Bursa, a historic spa with a forest of great mosques above a lovely orchard and meadow area called the Green Belt, and pasaport izmir (Smyrna), with the neighboring ruins of Ephesus, in twenty and ninety minutes respectively. Even Ankara, the lusty new capital of new Turkey, is hardly two hours distant by air and there is also a thoroughly modern sleeping-car service in an overnight railway run from Haydar Pasha. Asian Anatolia supports European Istanbul in supplying potent reasons for visiting Turkey.
His controversial essay Ecce Homo (1865) is his best-known work. It is a simple, human account of the life and teaching of Christ.
