Directed and edited by Italian filmmaker Leonardo Dalessandri, this video of Turkey could possibly be the best travel video ever.

Titled ‘Watchtower of Turkey’, Leonardo Dalessandri shot this truly beautiful video travelling throughout Turkey by covering over 3500 km in 20 days.

Capturing landscapes from the bluish tones of Pamukkale to the warm ones of Cappadocia, he’s captured an amazing array of of colors, lights and weathers through other cities.

Armed with only a camera and a smile, he 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 in return got their smiles and their hospitality.

The video use a wide variety of cinematic styles and an extremely fast edit which only adds to the dynamic nature of the video.

Travelling without moving? Not far off. Its an absolute gem.

What do you think about this video? Should more tourism videos be like this?
