Personal opions - In my opinon Turkey is the holiday destination which caters for everyones intrests. Before I took my first trip to Turkey I would never have dreamed of visiting the place, as I had a stereotypical image of a dirty, sleezy, unorganised country. Now, that Ive been 13 times, I wonder where on earth that sterotypical image came from. Turkey, for one, is x10 cleaner than the United Kingdom. It is very rare to find a spot of chewing gum plasterd to the ground in Turkey, could you say that about the UK? Personally, I think Turkey is very well orginised, the English of the people is very impressive, and also, the resorts (and cities) are very well ...

I first visited Turkey 9 years ago & have since been back 18 times. I have been to most of the ressorts & visited Istanbul * Ankara. I didn't really like Istanbul:too busy & too many tourists. I love Ankara, the musuem of Central Anatolia is really interesting. I found the masouluem to Ataturk,Anit Kabir, moving. Last year I caught the train from Ankara & visited Diyarbakir, Batman, Hassenkeyf & Van. I was on the train for 26 hours. I like Turkish trains even thought they are slow. I took fruit & wine. The train stops about every two hours & you can get off & buy fresh bread & cheese. Diyarkabir is like a wild-west town, overrun with children. I believe the norm ...
