Best book for travelling Turkey, 19 Aug 2009
This review is from: Turkey (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
We bought this book eight years ago and travelled many places using it. Then I lost the book, however as I loved it so much I ordered it again secondhand. Because I couldn't get good places in the new Lonely Planet. I really liked the eating and staying places in it. This book gives you a good description of what you would like to do and where to go. I 'feel the last editions are not in depth and don't even think people who has written them spent enough time to give info about the places:-(

Dissappointment, previous issue much was better, 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Turkey (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
Yes, the book is very detailed and very useful. But the pictures are misleading. Lonely Planet has become orientalist. Turkey is not just beaches and peasants with headscarfs. Where are the normal people? Come on Pat Yale and Tom Broshanan, you both have lived in Turkey! Why there are no pictures of the young girls in miniskirts and their boyfriends who together roam the streets of Istanbul, Trabzon, Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, Giresun, Bursa while talking to their cellulars and going to pubs at night????? Maybe they look too "western" and normal to make it to the pages of LP! --- Even though these people are a majority in Turkey where 60% population is under 30years!!!!!!!! This time LP was a great dissappointment. It is not voicing the reality of Turkey, but the way foreigners (=rest of Europe) *wants* to see it. Shame on you Pat and Tom!

A useful guide for all travellers to Turkey, 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Turkey (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
Kusadasi has amazing beaches , nightlife and excellent seafood restuarants. I would highly reccommend to my fellow travellers that it most definately should not be overlooked as a place to stay to either prepare your journey around Turkey, take in the many day drips it has to offer, such as Ephusus and Selcuk, Pammukale,The National Park or just to chill out and relax. Followed the good write up on "The Golden Bed Pension" in Kusadasi and may I add ,that not only is it suitable for all ages,couples,families and the solo female, it is a popular retreat for the gay travellers. It has terrific views of the sea from the rooms and the terrace bar, with nighly B.B.Q. and male and female belly-dancers. Kusadasi is more than just a Port for the weiry travellers from Samos and The Greek Islands embarking on the delights that Turkey offers.
