Produktbeschreibung:Amazon.com:From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you're going there chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years, and as a result has experience and know-how similar to an older sibling's "been there" advice. The original backpacker's bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.
This bestselling guide is the ticket to no-nonsense travel in Turkey. Far-reaching coverage of the sights--from the modern to the ancient--is complemented by a Turkish food guide, useful language section and glossary, and thorough accommodation coverage (from hostels to hotels). A section devoted to Turkish carpets explains everything from traditional patterns to making a good buy.

Of the five tour guides we own about Turkey, this one is by far the most complete. Well indexed and with the detail travelers need. Routes to points of interest, descriptions of restaurants, and historical cultural information was all meticulously prepared. As we have traveled through the country, we have relied on this guide in preference to all others.

Even for one who has travelled and worked in Turkey off and on for the past 29 years, this volume is an indispensable resource for both practical information and its brief but almost always interesting historical highlights. As an historian and archaeologist who has excavated in Turkey and has led a dozen university-sponsored study-tours through the country, I too have noticed some of the errors and omissions that have caused earlier reviewers distress; but such mistakes are few, are inevitable in a book with such a broad chronological and geographical scope, and are easily outweighed by Tom Brosnahan's obvious knowledge of and affection for the country's past and present. It's worth remembering that this volume does not claim to be an exhaustive historical guide to the country, but rather a handy and portable reference to all aspects of touring in Turkey. For me, it is second only to my wife as my favourite travelling companion in Anatolia.

Pat Yale gives false information on women in Turkey. As a Westener living in Turkey I can say that one really does not have to "cover up" or wear black glasses "to avoid eye contact with males". The peasants do harrass you if you do not seem self confident enough - this is the same anywhere in world. This is the same even in America, go to New York and wonder around showing that you are lost and you will get harrassed. I think Pat traveled with uneducated religious fundamentalists, because at least I have had more problems when wearing conservative dress than when wearing shorts and t-shirts like most educated women in Turkey do. All one needs is self confidence to not be harrassed. That is what most Meditarrenean women have much more than Anglo-Saxon blodes who *DO* get harrassed much more -- not for their beautiful looks but for their submissive behaviour.

I just returned from travelling through Turkey with a Turkish friend who lives in Germany, and despite his familiarity with the country and cities, we both heavily relied upon the LP guide for information on lodging, historical sites, off-the-beaten-track towns, and other fun and interesting places to visit. It is a fabulous book, and the only one worth paying for to use for such a trip. All other travellers I encountered (who weren't on pre-planned tours or paying $200/night at the Hilton) were using the LP guide, whether from North America, Australia, or Europe. Great information, very comprehensive, aimed at budget travellers! Enjoy!

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that so much changes in Turkey that it's inevitable that some of the information (specifically the places to stay listings) in this edition will be a little outdated.
I used Tom and Pat's book a month ago and it was excellent. Some of the criticism from previous reviews say that it's not written by someone familiar with Turkish people. Well, I think the book does a good job balancing what concerns and information "westerners" are looking for, and giving a general sense of what the Turkish people and culture are like. Like any other adventure, it's up to the individual to go beyond the guidebook instead of having everything spelled out like a novel...what would be the point of travelling?
I emailed Tom on some updates and he assured me that they are already in the 1999 edition coming soon. As far as my experience with the LP series, the Turkey guide ranks with the best of them. Highly recommended ...
