In February 2007, Dayle and I traveled to Turkey, a country I have have wanted to see since childhood. Its connection to western cultural development is the reason I visited. The warmth and friendliness of the people we met and the remnants of the past, still readily accessible, are the things memories are made of. Go visit Turkey - it will exceed your expectations!
We visited Istanbul and loved it. It is also a very safe city and affordable country. If you like the "old" Paris, you will love Istanbul in the springtime. From there we traveled to central Turkey to the village of Goreme, notable for its cave houses and old Christian church/cave ruins. Then onward to Selcuk, on the Aegean and the site of the ruins of Ephesus. Finally, back to Istanbul and then home.
We traveled just like the locals (no tours - everything booked by the seat of our pants), saw an incredible range of sights, and had the most incredible adventure of our lives. Highly recommended.
