Wo Hunnen, Perser, Araber und Bulgaren gescheitert waren, haben die Türken 1453 triumphiert. Jetzt schmückt sich der osmanische Sultan Mehmed II. mit dem Beinamen »Vater der Eroberung«.

Aber auch, angelockt von der Landschaft, die Künstler auf der Suche nach Inspiration. Und die Urlauber auf Erholungssuche. Wasser trennt nicht, es verbindet. Ständig waren Menschen auf diesem Meer unterwegs. Ihre Motive? Satt werden. Reich werden. Mehr Macht bekommen. Neues entdecken. Da musste doch noch was sein, jenseits des Horizonts!
