Traveling to Turkey-Any Suggestions of what to see other than Istanbul? by Citizen of the World
My bf and I are planning a trip to Turkey a year from now (probably around his birthday in September). He and I are set on Istanbul, however I would like for us to see some other cities. I have considered Ederne or Epheseus or Izmir, or all three, however I'd like some input on these cities or others that he and I could visit. We'd probably stay in Turkey for about 8-10 days, and my boyfriend has turkish ancestry so we will want this to be a culture introduction to this part of his family history.Posted: 20 weeks ago, September 22nd 2011
