Oh great, now we have an uncontrollable desire to visit Turkey.
Gizmodo's Omar Kardoudi spotted a wonderful video posted to Vimeo entitled Watchtower of Turkey.
Directed and edited by Leonardo Dalessandri, the video spends over three minutes displaying Turkey's greatest assets, featuring its people and marvelous landscapes. It's nearly enough to have you booking a flight now.

Dalessandri explains:
"Over than [sic] 3500 km traveled in 20 days, capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, the all passing by a great variation of colors, lights and weathers through six other cities.
I've crossed Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Ephesus, Istanbul, Konya; and tasted baklava, kunefe, doner, the turkish tea; and got the chance to meet the soul of Turkey, its people.. and got their smiles and their hospitality."
The video doesn't come close to capturing all of what Turkey has to offer, because to do that with a brief video is impossible. However, it offers more than enough in this visual feast to have us craving something we hadn't previously considered: a trip to what is an eclectic, vibrant country brimming with intriguing splendor.
