| Page Views: 15,646 Last Visit to Turkey: August, 2004 | Turkey - a travell from east to west by MalenaN - last update: Jan 7, 2005 |
First trip | Isak Pasha Palace, Dogubayazit |
I spent 40 days travelling around Turkey during July and August 2003. It was a travell from the east to the west, not only geographicaly but also culturaly.
I visited: Trabzon, Erzurum, Dogubayazit, Van, Diyarbakir, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Nemrut Dagi, Göreme, Konya, Antalya, Kas, Pamukkale, Selcuk, Bergama and Istanbul.
My tips will come in the same order as I travelled. Meaning that tips from Trabzon and around comes first and tips from Istanbul comes last. |
|  | Second trip Summer 2004 i went to Turkey again. The places I visited this time was:
Istanbul, Amasra, Safranbolu, Ankara, Hattusas, Amasya, Sivas, Divrigi, Erzurum, Kars, Ani, Dogubayazit, Van, Diyarbakir, Hasankeyf, Antakya, Silifke, Anamur, Antalya, Datca, Bodrum, Izmir, Behramkale (Assos), Bursa and finally Istanbul again.
Tips of places I visited during this trip (but not last time) I will put under general tips. |
| | Turkish Lira From the 1st January 2005 Turkey has got new banknotes without a lot of zeros.
1 000 000 TL = 1YTL
Y stands for yeni, which means new in Turkish.
There are also coins and 1 YTL = 100 Ykr
I visited Turkey in 2003 and 2004 and the currency used in my tips is therefore the old Turkish Lira. To compare with today’s currency you just have to delete six zeros. |

Great info, really enjoyed reading your tips in order to wet my appetite for my own tour starting in 10 days time ;-) | saleemg Sun Aug 30, 2009 17:14 UTC
Wow !!! Takes lots of guts to undertake such an adveturous jouney - solo. Thank you for the great info! Have been to Turkey (West and Cappadoccia region), but not a trip like yours. Congrats! | angiebabe Sun Jul 12, 2009 17:04 UTC
Im coming back to see your tantalising page here. I was there for the 7 churches of Revelation tour a few years back and a huge meeting at the ampitheatre in Ephesus but still so much more to see! | BillNJ Sun May 10, 2009 17:37 UTC
Wow, you certainly experienced a lot during your visits to Turkey! Excellent tips and photos. I love Turkish food -- so I am sure that I would enjoy a trip to Turkey. |
