Pros: Safe, exciting and doable Cons: Might be hot in the summer
Our 14 day trip to Turkey with a Rick Steves' tour with 25 people was one of the best trips we have been on. Rick Steves puts out a quality product and is worth the extra expense. The September, 2000, trip started in Istanbul and ended in the Samos...

Pros: Wonderfully historic and diverse country; beautiful people and country. Cons: Terrorism seems to be on the rise; so too is religious zealotry.
When I joined the U.S. Navy right out of High School I never imagined that I would be stationed in Turkey, gateway to western Asia, but that is where I was heading in the summer of 1983. I had just finished a tour of duty in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, ...

Pros: Everything! Cons: Nothing!
My husband and I spent most of June 2001 on a tour of Turkey. I’ve wanted to go there ever since I read about the rediscovery of Troy, so when the opportunity presented itself to join an archaeology- and history-oriented tour, we jumped at it.

Pros: Everything!!! Cons: Young kids working.
We went to Turkey four months ago and still miss it! The most memorable place in Hisaronu was the market, history is great and all, but i will always remember that market. When we first went there the turks literally came running up to us and were so ...

Pros: great value, shopping, culture, and beaches Cons: not many....if you travel with the right attitude
Having lived in turkey for over 9 years, I must recommend it as an excellent vacation destination. I'm sure you've already heard enough about Istanbul so I won't talk about that, but what is not so well-known about Turkey is the south coast and its...

One of the most popular walks in the area is from Kaya to Olu Deniz, which is well described in www.fethiye-infonet.com. It is really important to avoid the sculduggery of a local business...

Pros: You'll get a great deal on a carpet! Cons: You'll want to come back to Turkey again!
The dictionary defines "haggling" as "to annoy or exhaust by wrangling". Maybe the stress of haggling in Turkey is what puts off many travelers from the West. But haggling is the honorable process of doing business in Turkey, and can...

Pros: Fairly off-the-beaten-path, amazing architecture, chance to stay with Turkish families, laid-back beach resort Cons: Maybe a bit too quiet for some, freezing Black Sea waters
On a wintry morning in County Durham, England, a little after nine, I stumbled out of bed and dragged myself, half-asleep and clutching a piece of burnt toast in my hand, over the road to a converted barn. From somewhere in the fog, a cow mooed at me. A ...

Those of you who've known me for a while now (that means Dave BTW); as well as anyone who has seen my top 10 places to travel list, will be aware of the fact that I'm not a well traveled person. In fact until recently I had been abroad just once ...

Pros: Lots of adventure Cons: Need to rent a vehicle
Not only did I take a trip to Turkey ... I lived there for 2 years. I can honestly say that it was the best two years of my life. From the gorgeous scenery to the wonderful ancient castles ... it is a trip that I would highly recommend to anyone. ...

Pros: Great price, good hotels, great tour director Cons: The air conditioning of one hotel was not powerful enough for me
We just returned from a Gate 1 escorted tour of Turkey. I can't tell you how much we enjoyed the trip. We had the best tour guide I have ever had. He knew everything about anything. He was able to do our whole tour without any local guides, so we ...
