From the Author
2nd Edition Now Available!
The revised and updated 2nd edition of the Turkey Guide is now available--just enter 1892975033 (that's the ISBN) in the Keyword Search field.
The new edition offers more bougainvillea-covered "pansiyons," more charming bed & breakfasts, more epic history, more ruins, more great dining--both fine and cheap, 208 more pages, and, umm, one more dollar on the cover price.
(A word of advice: Try to fit a multi-day "gulet" cruise along the Mediterranean into your plans. It's inexpensive and relaxing--you visit classical ruins, eat well, sleep on deck, and awaken by plunging into the sea.)
