  • Turkey: Wrap-Up What We Did: We spent two full weeks traveling through Turkey. We began in Istanbul (three days there); then took the overnight bus to Goreme in the central Cappadocia region (three more days); took another overnight bus to Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | May 19, 2009
  • Turkey: Istanbul and Cappadocia After the hot days in Egypt and Jordan, it was a shock to land in Istanbul where the average temperature was about 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit). Just our luck – Spring was late this year. No matter, Posted by jhongny in While We Are Out... | May 21, 2009
  • Cappadocia Alarm. 0430, are you joking me? Surely not time to get up yet? Maybe just a few more minutes. Damn solar hot water. As I soon realised, a cold shower is far superior to any caffeinated Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009
  • Cappadocia Cappadocia. We had heard only that Cappadocia was a town of many ancient, formerly inhabited caves and the region came highly recommended by all that had visited. We were happy to leave it at that and avoided viewing Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009
  • Sirince Breakfast. Our Nisanyan house stay included breakfast. We were expecting something similar to what we consumed in Istanbul but we couldn’t stand the idea of another breakfast buffet. The waiter in the dining room started to bring Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009
  • Sirince Goodbye Istanbul. We flew into Izmir from Istanbul this morning but that is unfortunately all we got to see of Aiden’s home town. From there we caught a minibus (about an hour) to Selcuk which really is a Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 20, 2009
  • Üçağiz to Konya - that would be 11 hours! Breakfast was a very peaceful affair this morning. Even with the terrible tea. I didn't know tea could taste that bad! The water was still and the boats with all their colours reflected in the water made it the perfect Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 17, 2009
  • Turquoise Coast and return to Öçağiz for Eurovision This is an extract direct from my journal... [i]It doesn't get much better than this. This morning it feels like the good life. All that is wanting is a hot shower. But as that is not going to happen I Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 16, 2009
  • Kayaköy to Kaş to Öçağiz to boat This morning I swear the roosters were camped outside my bedroom. But I would have woken to the morning prayers anyway and to be honest - I think I prefer the roosters. I welcomed the cold shower again knowing Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 14, 2009
  • Hiking the Lycian trail and paragliding in Ölüdeniz I think the title of this next entry says it all! 'Günaydin' say several roosters this morning. But I was already awake in the freezing cold room. More like an extended bathroom. Which I wouldn't have minded if the bathroom provided Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 13, 2009
  • Pammukale to Fethiye 7am start today and I really felt it. But being determined to never be last on the bus I sped through my morning routine. I think I read the book Ping too many times as a kid! Breakfast was bought at Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 14, 2009
  • Road Trip around Turkey Grab a cup of tea, a glass of wine or a cold one for going through this update - it's long! Nate and I have been on a road trip for the last 3 weeks through Turkey. We are Posted by esnodgrass in Erin & Nate's World Trip | May 14, 2009
  • Selçuk to Pammukale Merhaba I was soooo sorry to leave Selçuk but more wonders awaited....after a very long trip. The bus ride was not the most comfortable but again, it was worth it. The scenery is like nothing I expected (I guess I thought it Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 12, 2009
  • Bursa to Selçuk Now we are getting somewhere! I won't go into the details of the bus ride but İ will tell you of the special treat that has become a favourite. Magnum Fistik. That is a pistachio Magnum!! Arrival in Selçuk was a Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 11, 2009
  • Holy Hot-Air Balloon Ride! Have you ever been on a hot-air balloon ride? Neither had I. That is until we arrived in the country of Turkey and the spectacular region of Cappadocia. I knew at some point in my life that Posted by amyandkev in Amy & Kev's Excellent Adventure | May 13, 2009
  • Istanbul Hotel Golden Age Deluxe 2. We moved hotels to be closer to the action in Taxim. Well worth it. Vic found a great hotel last minute with superb views of new Istanbul. [img=http://photo Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 9, 2009
  • Istanbul I'm sitting here in a quaint little cottage at the highest point of Sirince (still in Turkey), rocking in my rocking chair with laptop in hand overlooking the valley at sunset. Do I sound like a wanker yet? I Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 9, 2009
  • İstanbul, apple tea, ice-cream & lots of walking Okay this will be my attempt at writing with a Turkish keyboard. Note that where there is an İ I might type a ı and İ have no İdea what that looks like when İ'm on a Turkish computer. İ can Posted by BellaGo in Trip of a lifetime through Turkey | May 9, 2009
  • Istanbul Bazaar. Mind blowing. Literally thousands of little stalls selling stuff. Almost everything imaginable was for sale here. We got sucked into a rug store again, you’d think I learnt my lesson after India. I tried Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 6, 2009
  • Istanbul Plane ride of only 4ish hours cowered in insignificance when compared to the 14 hour flight to Dubai. We arrived relatively fresh and ready to experience the city. It didn’t have the skyline of Dubai, relatively flat as Posted by samandvic in Europe 2009 | May 5, 2009

  • Ancient city,ancient art. We are back once again in our friendly Sultanahmet hostel in Istanbul where the narrow alleys share equal space with 5 star hotels, rug dealers and doner vendors. Tomorrow morning we head further West to Athens , spend two days Posted by tomstrick1 in Sabbatical | Apr 29, 2009
  • Turkish Delights By now you can probably tell that one of our major loves of travel is food...so here is a little summary of what we have indulged in so far in Turkey: - Turkish Cay (pronounced like chai in India)...they even have Posted by esnodgrass in Erin & Nate's World Trip | Apr 23, 2009
