"TURKEY - under construction!!" Turkey by mel_bee

This was one of the best holidays so far! Turkey is a really amazing place where east meets west and you get to sample some fascinating cultural experiences as well as sunshine, beaches, breathtaking landscape and try out the local nightlife. Its even safe for women travelling alone as I was!

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION, I DID SO MUCH DURING MY HOLIDAY ITS GOING TO TAKE A LONG TIME TO COMPLETE!!

Turkey is the ideal place for a package holiday, you could just lie on a beach for two weeks and pretend you were anywhere on the med ... OR you could try to visit some of this amazing country!

I bought myself a cheap hop on hop off bus ticket when I got to Istanbul and decided to see what happened.
