i loved this country especially their people.There are tons of place to go for to many different kinds of people.I don'T know why those greeks are so touchy about this country especially bcs turks kicked them out when greeks tried to conquer this country

Great history and moderate islam - good place to have a mild adventure. Great contributions are left over from the Greeks, Romans, Byzentine Christians and Ottomans. The turks are a somewhat creepy and can be uncivilized.

Wow, I loved this country. I was surprised to see how It looks like a western state, and also kept the oriental culture. Istanbul is full of history, you can see 500 year old wall, a 1500 year old building and a skyscraper from where you stand. I didn't like some of those old building being used as stores and shops though. It's really amazing that the city sits on 2 continents: west part is on Europe and Eastern part is on Asia. I don't really know much about the asian part, but great history, food and shopping on the part where the ancient city of Byzantion used to be. If you go west and south of Turkey, you'll see lots of beautiful beaches and landscape. the night life is better than msot places in the U.S. i saw lots of German and English tourists, a lot of russians too. The guy at the hotel told me that Turkey attracts a lot of Israelies, too. Turkish people are really nice and friendly, but not many who can speak english. I'd say they are similar with Greeks, but for some reason Greek don't like to hear that. I guess it's because some historical reasons. I didn't see any bad comments on Greeks from Turks though. I guess some bad comments on this forum come form Greeks and Armenians who are still sore about whatever happened in the past, which I don't know about much. From the eyes of a tourist, great place,great people, great food, and lots of history form different periods. oh, there's no camels in Turkey, and they speak Turkish and use latin alphabet, not arabic as I thought before.

A must see! Make sure you have several weeks.

great country, lots of history, people are very hospitable, highly recommended

eh, too much islam, too little of the byzantine heritage left.

Turkey is a surprisingly beautiful country with lots of ancient history. Istanbul is a city you can get lost in forever. The Hagia Sofia is very architechurally appealing. The setting of the city on the Bosphorus adds to the beauty of Istanbul. The ruins of ancient Ephesus are also incredible. Outside of maybe Italy and Greece, you really feel the history of the land through the myriad of ancient ruins; from the Hittites to the Byzantines and later even the Ottomans all left a distinctive legacy on the country. It's the variety of civilizations melding together in this land that makes the history of Turkey interesting. The landscapes are also incredible. If you love history, culture, and food and if you want to do something different, then go to Turkey.

THE ONLY REASON FOR ME TO VIST TURKEY IS TO SEE THE HOUSES AND THE MONUMENTS OF OUR FATHERS.HAGIA SOFIA ,KAPPADOKIA,EFESOS,KONSTANTINOPOLE,SMYRNE ARE PLACES WERE GREEKS DONE FROM ZERO.TURKEYS DONT HAVE EVEN ONE TABEL IN THESE PLACES SO THAT VISITORS CAN KNOW ABOUT THESE.TURKEYS ARE VERY RUDE AND WITH BARBARIANS WAYS.THEY HAVE A GOVERMENT THAT IS CONTROLLED FROM ARMY.THEIR HISTORY IS FULL OF MILLIONS KILLINGS OF ARMENIANS AND GREEKS.I WOULD BE AFRAID TO GO OVER THERE

I'm proud of this country's struggle to join the European Union! :o)

Istanbul is so beautiful and there is so much to see and do in Turkey.
