Disclaimer first: The tips under this page are in no way meant to offend anyone. They are merely an effort to forewarn people of things they should be aware of in Turkey. When I say Turkey, I mean southern and southwestern Turkey where I ran into these scenarios.
I'd also like to say that the Turkish people I encountered and befriended were some of the friendliest and giving people I've met in my travels. Not unlike any other country or people, there are exceptions to be aware of.
- Pros:A beautiful country that's very cheap to visit
- Cons:Some parts of the country are still a bit backwards
- In a nutshell:Well worth the visit
