KHV Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I had 10 days in Side in July, it was lovely. It was my first time in Turkey and I would go back again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I went to Istanbul in Feb, don't know what it was like before, security everywhere now, never felt threatened or unsafe but at the same time my personal thoughts weren't this mega city top 10 places in the world stuff was bollocks ( sorry avfc_hitz) don't get me wrong it's properly massive but you go in massive really impressive mosque number 1 and think it's incredible, by the time you've done mosque number 7 it's gone, then you replace mosque with market, then with Turkish delight shop, then with kebab shop number 178...there was just so little variance in the city, its all looky looky men selling the same shit, it's a massively huge city that got boring after 2 days imo was cheap as **** though! 3 days flights and hotel cost me and the missus £140 plus probably £200 spending money maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) I'd be more than happy to eat 178 kebabs in one trip tbf. That said, I won't be going anywhere near Turkey following tonight's result. Edited April 17, 2017 by Wainy316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just don't go there. Don't visit, don't give them a penny. Vile, nationalistic state who should be isolated and boycotted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Surprised at the lack of love for Turkey I thought the place was pretty amazing , true i went in 2008 and it was a different place then , but Istanbul offers you so much .. Haghia Sophia , Blue Mosque , palace of Pasha were all impressive , then you have the bazaars , a few hours R&R inside a hamam , boat trip down the Bosphorus ..... decent enough bar and cafe scene ( didn't try any clubs) and that's before you get down to Ephesus (temple of Artemis ) , Troy and Gallipoli .. Think you can skip the house where the virgin Mary is supposed to have lived out her old age tbf People we met seemed friendly enough and we used mainly public transport around Istanbul ... my only bad experience of the whole places was a few local youths being highly disrespectful at the Anazc graves , but on the whole I wouldn't really say a bad thing about Turkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) 6 dead Could have been a whole lot worse, that's the main high street albeit I don't think that's the busy end Edit - FWIW I booked my 2017 (or 18 I can't remember) weekend there shortly after the attack near the besiktas stadium and it was dirt cheap, like 2 people for 3 nights flight + shit hotel for £85 cheap Edited November 13, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Interesting but unsurprising response in that the government tried cut internet access and access to Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and so on as soon as it happened. Hope there are no more casualties but it looked to be crowded in the pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
