Andy07 Andy D Post Count: 3 Msg: #1 117 days ago, July 30th 2009 | Hi Guys, | Im going to Turkey in the 1st week of Oct for 15 days with my husband . Any suggestions on itenary ??? My current plan is to start with Istanbul then cover some of the Aegean cost and then the Mediterranean region . Certainly want to go to Istanbul and some of the ancient temples and architectural sites ... but don’t wanna over do that bit . some diving and the thermal springs ..adventure sports ... Do we have to book hotels in advance or we could we just go with the flow, we hate fixed schedules :( Could you please help me with this , like accommodations , places not to be missed , what is the best way to travel .. could u suggest any cheap apart hotels ??\ Thanks , Andy  liliram liliram Post Count: 387 Msg: #2 115 days ago, August 1st 2009 | Hi Andy. I just did Turkey for 2 weeks last March-April. Went to Istanbul, Kusadaci, Troy/Gallipolli, Ephesus, Pamukkale, Konya, Cappadocia, Ankara, Bursa. If you ask me, the must-visits would be Istanbul, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, and Kusadaci/Ephesus, in that order. | You can easily spend 4 days in Istanbul and always find something to do --- Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Blue Mosque, Dolmabahce Palace, Taksim Square, Beylerbeyi Palace, etc. Then station yourself in Kusadaci (3 days) from where u can visit the ruins in Ephesus , the ancient wonder of the Temple of Artemis, Aphrodisias and if you are a Christian, the house where Mother Mary lived . Then on to Pamukkale for the thermal springs. And finally Cappadocia (at least 3 days)........where you can spend 3 days . Even without doing anything in Cappadocia, I am sure you will enjoy it. The landscape is so surreal you'd be glad to just being there.  GayleC Gayle Post Count: 13 Msg: #3 114 days ago, August 2nd 2009 | Hi Liliram, | Sounds fabulous! Were you travelling alone? I want to travel from Egypt through to Turkey next year and not sure whether to go on a tour or not. I have travelled alone but.... Grateful for any advice! Thanks, Gayle liliram liliram Post Count: 387 Msg: #4 113 days ago, August 3rd 2009 | No, I traveled with my niece, Gayle. I've done Egypt too but that has been ages ago, and I joined a tour group. I know of some who have done Egypt on their own. I would, except that I still have quite a bit in my list of places to visit . Check out the many blogs on Egypt on this site. Many just visited Cairo, but I will most certainly recommend visiting Luxor . Btw, when i visited Egypt, I joined a Nile River Cruise. Loved it! | GayleC Gayle Post Count: 13 Msg: #5 112 days ago, August 4th 2009 | Thanks Liliram......will do as you suggest and check out the Egypt blogs. | Was it women who travelled on their own? And did you enjoy the tour group? liliram liliram Post Count: 387 Msg: #6 112 days ago, August 4th 2009 | There were blogs about women travelers doing solo trips. About the tour group, I joined the River Nile Cruise of Globus. Took 7 nights, but quite comprehensive yet relaxing as well. We flew from Cairo to Aswan where we boarded our boat. |  barissenlen baris senlen Post Count: 6 Msg: #7 77 days ago, September 8th 2009 | Hi everyone!!!if any of you interested to come Turkey i ll be happy to help you with any subject.I live in Istanbul and as i am a professional guide i believe i can reply your answers.... |  Mell Mell Post Count: 13894 Msg: #8 77 days ago, September 8th 2009 |  i believe i can reply your answers....
