4.0 out of 5 stars in a big country..., 20 Aug 2003

By	simon gurney - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

ok, ill admit to being a fan of rough guide rather than lonely planet, for the simple fact of the ammount of copies of lonely planet you see in the hands of other travellers around the world, but alas as the books get bigger with each edition, they get closer and closer in terms of content.

with a book this size obviously it is pretty comprehensive, and the fact that the condensed history of turkey weighs in at nearly a hundred pages you are getting a lot (perhaps too much) guidebook, in all honesty i wouldnt mind losing all the contexts section at the back increasing the language guide which is tiny, and getting a much smaller book a a result..
The reccomendations for where to eat are a little hit and miss, so best approached with a large pinch of salt, it is possible to find some gems which would have remained hidden, but theres quite a few lumps of coal as well.

a big plus is the excellent coverage of diving, with the highlights of diving in each area contained in a boxout, very very useful.

a worthy guidebook, although a bit to weighty, reasonably objective and comprehensive.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lots happen in 3 years, 1 Jun 2006

By	K. Truong "wanderer" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Overall, it's OK but really disappointed with some bum steers because the book is now 3 years old. In a more stable countries it might be OK but the boom in tourism Turkey has meant heaps of change and heaps of turnover.
Prices were generally doubled those quoted; restaurants have packed up & closed; hotels that might have been OK are now run down.
I'm normally a fan of Rough Guides but I think they should get this edition updated if it's to be useful.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, 17 Aug 2006

By	Will (London, UK.) - See all my reviews

I have just returned from 3 weeks travelling around Turkey using the Rough Guide along the way. I have used, and been happy with, Rough Guides on previous trips around Europe and the Middle East but was really disappointed with this guide. The accomodation listings were unhelpful ... in the end, I tended to deliberately avoid the accomodation recommended in the guide! A number of the maps were pretty hit and miss and some of the details with regards to the practicalities of getting from A to B lacked the necessary useful detail. Unfortunately, the guide is already very out of date (the 5th edition is 2003). However, in the end, the principal problem was the general rather opinionated tone which varies from being disparaging at times and downright miserable on a number of occasions - you wonder whether the authors actually like the country they're writing about! (Incidentally, Turkey is a pleasure to visit!) I agree with another reviewer that the Contexts section is a too detailed (and rather ernest) and could do with some judicious editing. I also took the Lonely Planet guide to Istanbul (but not Turkey) and found it much better on all fronts.
