Customer Reviews

Great, indepth guide.
I bought this Lonely Planet guide to Turkey as it was the most recently published book that I could find before my visit to the country during April 2009. I was so glad to have bought it!!
The book is informative, easy to navigate, contained helpful up-to-date advice & recommendations and included some great photographs. If you're looking for a pocket sized guide however this is not the book to choose as it's fairly heavy to carry around with you!
I had a great holiday in Turkey (I visited Ephesus amongst other places, whilst staying in Selcuk/Kusadasi) and I'm now reading up on other sections of the book in preperation for my next visit!

A helpfull book
This book is a really helpful book when it comes to traveling. The amount of detail on how you can get from one place to another is really helpful. I used it allot when traveling from Istanbul down the coast and into the Cappadocia area. The book covers allot of subjects, leading to that some of the things mentioned are not that well covered. This is specially when it comes to sights like Ephisos and other similar. The descriptions of the places are not wherry informative and the maps of the sights tell you wherry little.

The conclusion is that this book is wherry useful when it comes to traveling around. But when you are looking at specific sights its not much use other than telling you how to get there and away. However, there are usually more information on the sights itself so you wont be that lost. The maps are quite simple and contain only the bare minimum. This I think is sad, since maps can be a wherry good way of showing information over a city and other places in a easy way. But overall, I would never travel to Turkey again without this book it is far more useful than it is luggage.

Turkey
As always, a helpful and informative guide to travelling a country as a non-typical tourist. Some important information was missing however about bus times and prices etc. Still wouldn't be without it on my travels!
