Have you traveled to Turkey recently? In this thread please tell us where in Turkey you have visited, what you liked and didn´t like, what suggestions you have for people who are planning to visit that place... etc.
As much as possible, please try to include information about transportation, accommodation, attractions, food options, is it a touristy/non-touristy area...etc.

For what it´s worth, my last visit to Turkey, to the wedding of two of my friends, merited a mention in the local news.

Munzur Gözelerini is a wonderful place and well worth a visit but of course my friends´ wedding, as well as being able to see many other friends, made it special to me.
Everyone I encountered was very friendly but it helped a lot that I was traveling with a group of Turkish people, including local Ovacık and Tunceli people. I suspect I would have had some difficulties had I been on my own.
We went through quite a number of checkpoints, albeit with no problems.

I´m thinking of translating my latest essay about my roundtrip in summer 2007. Thinking just because it will take much time and I just can´t sit that long yet. And if it is translated I might upload it as an essay here (I promise to leave it there, no matter what...  ).
But, then I need the help of native English speakers. My English may seem ok but I do know from previous essays I make many, many grammatical mistakes. So, if I have it translated - which will take weeks at least! - is there anyone who can correct it for me? (It is a quite long story, sorry I´m always extensive in my descriptions and experiences.)

My last trip to Turkey was in 2007. I flew to Istanbul and stayed there for a few days to recover. I did my usual round of shopping and bargain hunting in the markets. I then flew to Bodrum, rented a car and drove to Akbuk where we have a beach house that we stay in. The worst part of the trip was the cost of gasoline...not only for my car but for the propane I needed for our home.
We visited Ephesus, and drove to Izmir to visit friends. We also took an overnight trip in my husband´s village and visited family. Mostly we just relaxed on the beach, cooked wonderful meals and enjoyed the quiet.
