My boyfriend is from Islahiye, he told me about the city...I am visiting in september. Anyone whos been there? How is the people? Turkey is a big country, I have only been to Istanbul and Antalya. Im guessing it is not the same as in Gaziantep...

mmmmm how strange! You´re the second person with a friend in Islahiye wanting to know about Gaziantep. See the following-

Thnx for the link!! but its not my friend its my boyfriend that is from there. im hoping i can go there in september or october. but its sad i need to wait in ankara before going. there aint direct flights to islahiye or to gaziantep. gotta be brave to travel alone!!! so i need to make research for ankara airport. im hoping i wont get too lost!!!

I´m sure you´ll be fine. Turkish people are very helpful-just ask.

yes, I agree; you cant get lost there if you know  bit of turkish and a bit of english

you will like to İslahiye. But people care to you so much. because you are foreing. I hope that will not disturb to you. you will be famous there
