4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed travelling with this book as a Turk!, 27 Aug 2006

By	Kivanc Emiroglu (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Turkey (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

My Canadian girlfriend and I spent 2 weeks in Turkey and travelled 3,000 km with Lonely Planet in our hands all the time.

As a Turk, it was a little bit weird for me to travel Turkey by reading from a foreign source. However, I really enjoyed reading the reviews and following their hotel and restaurant suggestions. I had difficulty in taking some of their comments but honestly they were right and with no prejudice. Their hotel and restaurant recommendations are limited but usually satisfying. The insight into Turkish culture was very helpful to my girlfriend. Most of the time, I felt like I had only little to add.

To sum up, very helpful insights into Turkish culture, good travel tips, detailed information about historical places and average information on hotels and restaurants. I recommend this book coupled with "Small hotels of Turkey - 2006" as a perfect guide for travellers.

5.0 out of 5 stars the best guide to Turkey so far, 15 Jun 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Turkey (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)

The book is very good but there are some misleading pieces of information.

On the facts for the visitor, Pat Yale advices a female traveler to ask for aile (/family) sections in restaurants. Well, there are not many of these restaurants and in fact, it sounds strange that a tourist would ask for such a place, like she would not see straight away how the restaurant is like.

The only places that are not "meant" for women are male dominated cafes, called "kirathanesi" where men play cards, smoke and drink. And you can see from the door right away that women are not extremely welcome to those places. Same applies to Greece and Cyprus.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissappointment, previous issue much was better, 13 Mar 2001

By A Customer

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!
