We took a 4-day trip to Ankara end of January. And for those who doesn't know, Ankara is in central Anatolia, and very much has a typical inland climate - cold winters, warm and bearable summers.
When we arrived it was a somewhat cloudy and misty - temperature being mildly cold - good transition for all of us, Cypriots ;-)
Then the next morning, sun was shining, and we ran off to the Eymir lake to enjoy the uncharacteristically warm day.
Our third day there, it started raining but it was not cold until the sun set down. The temperature fell, and we woke up to a snowy day...
By the time we arrived at the airport, snow had covered everywhere like a tight blanket.
Ankara is one of those cities that seems to be uninteresting (boring, even!), which later turns out to be full of surprises. |

I fist went to this restaurant in 1979. Each visit to Turkey includes at least one visit to this place. I am in Ankara June 19th for a wedding and will go to this place. The best in the world--Don from Atlanta Georgia | RickinDutch Fri Jun 20, 2008 18:11 UTC

I have been going since 1979. It is the best that I have ever had. I would love to help them break into the U.S. Market. The way they spice the meat is perfect. This needs to be a priority stop should you visit Turkey. It is a slice of heaven. |
