Obviously my top 5 has to start with Kadir too, after all he's the one who gave me my interest and knowledge about Türkiye.

01. Kadir (L)
02. The way tradition and modern life are being mixed.
03. The deepfelt music
04. The diversity of the country itself: each region is known for its own qualities, beauties and landscapes.
05. The language, literature, poetry (for as far as I can judge).

---

The good food and the nice weather didn't fit in my top 5 anymore.. but ohh I do love them And the smell of sea in the air.. but that's one of the reasons that I love Izmir.

Quoting MrX67:

Well my man is Kurdish

But actually putting ur lover on place 1 is not a good reason, now I think of it myself: Kadir is not my reason that I lóve Türkiye, he's the reason I stárted to love it after I gained my knowledge from knowing him.

Anyway, he's still my number one attraction

Lovebug! If you can't find grape leaves to cook with you can make this dish with cabbage instead, the pale variety this is very delicious! I've made it and as a lover of all dolma type dishes I was very satisfied with the result!

Although be careful with the aftereffects!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1- The people are a lot more friendlier than the people in England. We, as in England do not welcome foreigners the way that they welcome us.

2- It is very cheap, with it not been in the EU, everything is a lot cheaper than England.

3- Men, most of the Turkish/Kurdish men are very very good looking.

4- The Place, everywhere that I have been in Turkey is very clean and nice, there is no litter and it has very nice beaches and scenery.

5- Marmaris- I have never actually stayed in Marmaris itself but I have spent some of the best nights out there on Bar Street, The clubs aren't hot and sweaty like they are in England becuase they have massive coolers and they are a lot bigger and cleaner, you don't stick to the floor like you do in all the dives in England.

2. The amazing history and architecture
3. The hospitality, friendliness and kindness of the people (except the Sultanahmet region- a bit aggressive)
4. The wonderful climate- and sailing the Mediterranean
5. The food, music, and call to prayer.

Well, I had loved Turkey and started to learn Turkish first and later I met my boyfriend. He is the most important person in my life, but if I said he's is the reason why I love Turkey, it would be truth...I,ve already known Turkish when I met him...So:
1. Turkey itself
2.the language, which sounds beautiful
3. Turkish culture and people
4. Turkish art and architecture
5.Turkish music

I've been improving my Turkish FOR my boyriend not BECAUSE OF him
