Farewell Istanbul
This is a top pick! Finally saying goodbye for good to Istanbul..at least for this trip I think. Off to Cairo tomorrow...Can honestly say that aside from a ferry up the Bosphorous to see the Black Sea...I have seen most all of this city...at least the ...
Gallipoli - Chuchills great plan - Not!
This is a top pick! From Goreme, still feeling the effects of a hangover, we headed for Olympus - the home of tree houses, ancient ruins and Chimera (eternal flames). We stayed at Kadirs, one of the original places with tree house accommodation - definitely original... ...
'A Real Gem'..
This is a top pick! ... And that's exactly what we did. We packed our bags and got the hell out of dodge. My advice, if you want beaches in Turkey, stick to the Aegean firstly and the Med secondly. Do not on any circumstances head to the Black Sea, just think of the countries ...
Our First Few Days in Istanbul
This is a top pick! Sometimes I think it might be nice just to pay the extra and let a tour guide take care of everything. This time our luggage didn't show up for the first three days in Istanbul. We walked the streets ragged and dirty, prey to every enterprising rip-off ...
Merhaba, Would you like to buy a carpet?
This is a top pick! ... become special to you immediately. The men in Develi Spice shop and the ones at Omar's are topping that list here in Turkey. After stuffing ourselves and getting a little tipsy we started to stroll in the direction of the cistern. We were diverted by ...
Slight Misunderstanding
This is a top pick! ... surged to the front. Eventually we made it through onto the boat and thankfully had a very quick and smooth journey to Mamaris, Turkey. On arrival we were ushered to a shorter queue for people staying in Turkey, not just day tripping, and made our ...
Camlik Cad
This is a top pick! Before heading to Pamukkale, I was determined to fit in a visit to the cruise ship port of Kusadasi. Regina and I actually accompanied one another, did a whirl around the touristy bazar, checked out Pigeon Island and Ladies Beach and was ready to head ...
Pamukale, Capadoccia, and Ramadan
This is a top pick! ... , including a strange apple yogurt drink and a sweet cheese pastry. It was pretty interesting to witness Ramadan in a country like Turkey. Before leaving the country, we made sure to purchase some real Turkish Delight (lokum in Turkish) to bring to ...
The Underground City and the Flinstones.....
This is a top pick! Here we are ın the crazy land of Turkey. Agaın ıts the land of sales and we have been to see carpets and pottery. They gıve you free beer whılst the ıs the demonstratıon. Thıs seems like a free deal until you feel a little tidly and suddenly ...
Our day in Kas
This is a top pick! Today was a rest and recuperate day. It's best described in ...
Ephesus and the Mystery woman
This is a top pick! ... woman again, who some of you will remember from travels in Egypt, which promises to make the trail through southern Turkey to Cappadocia a pleasant and pleasurable experience indeed. It should also entail some very interesting sights so I hope you stick ...
Gallipoli: a bastard of a place
This is a top pick! ... with the incompetence senior commanding officers did result in the spiritual birth of three great nations - Australia, New Zealand and Turkey - so it was not a completely pointless exercise. (The rest of this entry will be a composite of my lone ...
Reached my Limit of One Sight a Day
This is a top pick! Last night Martin agreed to ditch his psychology conference and join me for a tour of the Hagia Sofia. We spent a couple of hours just admiring this seven wonder of the world. It was actually the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand ...
Classic Cappadocia
This is a top pick! ... To get here Mystery and I rode a red-eye bus service from Antalia to the teeny town of Goreme (pron. Goremay) in Turkey's heartland - Central Anatolia. Eleven straight hours on a very uncomfortable bus arriving at 6am is always going to turn messy and we ...
The Fairy Chimneys
This is a top pick! Eastern Turkey is nice enough and long-term travellers say it can be the most interesting part of the country. We are down to the last three months of our trip though and we still have a lot of countries to see, so we start to head back west. One place ...
Off the beaten track
This is a top pick! ... is a superhighway and travelling was quick. However, when we got to Izmir we descended into the most polluted city we've seen here in Turkey. We wanted to get through as quickly as possible, but that's not so easy. It was not a pleasant drive for a while ...
Asia in the morning, Europe in the evening
This is a top pick! ... no student discount. I had gotten such hefty student discounts in Egypt that the lack of foreign student discount in Turkey came as a disappointment. The only official student discount we got so far was at Dolmabache Palace (20ytl adults, ...
Anzac Cove: Dardanelles dawn service
This is a top pick! ... ride to Cesme was a classic from the outset, after I met some guys from Crete who were on a short holiday into southern Turkey. Alexander, Michael and George had a bottle of sweet wine and a small bag each and were very helpful in explaining some of the ...
Travertines of the gods
This is a top pick! ... have been an incredible spectacle back in Roman times. So if you are heading this far out of the way on your travels through Turkey it is worth a stop. Oh yes, bring enough money with you to cover your first night in town and the entrance fee. ...
Antioch and the First Christian Church
This is a top pick! ... crops. From here, I left Monday morning for the Syrian border to get a visa. I waited for four hours, as they needed to fax Damascus and get permission, then they stamped my passport and I was in Syria, after a couple of weeks in eastern ...
...I'll be gone 500 miles when the day is done...
This is a top pick! ... , and Turkish trains have a far better reputation of being on-schedule. Once in Pamukkale we will begin a whistle stop tour of South Aegean Turkey. We'll hit some of the big sites as well as a few beach towns before we take a ferry to the Greek island of ...
Cruising the day away
This is a top pick! ... nbsp;us up the Bosphorus until we reached the Black Sea, and return. The Bosphorus is the stretch of water that separates European Turkey from Asian Turkey. It joins the Sea of Mamara to the Black Sea. We were a bit early for the ferry ride so wandered ...
Hello Donkey, Money Money..
This is a top pick! ... anyone catching the carp will go blind. Consequently they appear to us to be the most pampered and portly fish in Turkey. I say, dynamite 'em. Built by Suleyman The Magnificent in the mid sixteenth century, the bazaar is eastern Turkey's largest and ...
A Sunken City And Oh So More..
This is a top pick! ... finally forced ourselves to move on. The only problem was where? Well, as you can probably guess from the title we chose Kas in Southern Turkey. We had planned to spend a few days in Kas but on arrival we made the snap decision to only spend 1 day as it ...
Walls and Thieves
This is a top pick! We decided we didn't want another long overnight bus journey and would spend the day looking round Diyarbakir. It's another walled town and they supposedly have cheap carpets there. Not that we needed any more. The downside was that we would have to ...
Plenty of çay but no cats
This is a top pick! There are a few things Van is known for. Van Golu - the large alkaline lake (apparently so much so that you can wash your clothes in with out soap!). Cats - cats with white fur and one green eye and one blue eye. But wait - there's more! They ...
