My first time in Turkey was in 1989, arriving by boat from Samos, in Greece, where we were in holidays. We didn't go anywhere, we just have been taken. We were pushed into one of a dozen buses, and, in a couple of hours we had visited Kusadasi, Selcuk and Ephesus, eat a lunch that... the men said they were four typical dishes but... all together... ok, it was food. And here we are, dropped in the harbor to take the ferry back to Samos. Efficiency, no doubt.
We went back to Turkey in 1998, in a planned trip directly from Portugal, and we confirmed the good first impressions, and corrected the impressions about the food. A week in the beach in Cesme (windy... windy... windy...) and a circuit to Ephesus again, Pamukkale, the astonishing Capadoccia (where Goreme is a special reference), Konia, Ankara, and finally Istanbul. It was my second best trip, in a quality/price ratio point of view (The first was Florida, but with a special push of a friend that was a tour operator, and... you know.)
