I've been to Turkey four times so far:
March 2005 - a week in Istanbul
July 2005 - a week in Side and then a seven-day tour around central and western Turkey
February 2006 - Ankara and Istanbul
August 2006 - Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara and Bursa
Where to go depends on what kind of attractions you're looking for. So far you've seen summer resorts (Side or Cesme) and the most wonderful city in Turkey (Istanbul). If you have the spirit of a traveller, why don't you try to find tours? The one I did in July 2005 was awesome - I saw Ephesus, Konya, Cappadocia, Pamukkale, Bergana and many more.
However, if you'd rather choose one place, it might be an idea to go to Cappadocia or to compare the Aegean and Mediterranean seaside with what the Black Sea offers.

Thanks Daydreamer,
I didn't say that we had been to Side 11 times. I do love the historical sights as well as the beach resorts.
We have been to Pamukale, Epheseus, Cappodoçia, Aspendos, Perge. Think we may take your advice and do a one week tour and then a relaxing week in a resort.
Where are you off to next? 
Jo-Anne

So far I ve visited Istanbul (oh so many times ), Gokceada, Kusadasi, Ankara, Antalya, Alanya and all their surroundings like Efes, Aspendos etc. Moreover, I have passed through Assos, Ayvalik and Izmir, but unfortunately couldn't stay. I m sure I will, sometime soon.
The city that has stolen my heart is Antalya. Istanbul is stunning but somehow, Antalya and the area around it are my favorites. Olympos mountain and beach, Taurus mountains, all those waterfalls and caves, together with the beauty of the old marine and the privileges of the modern city of Antalya, give a fantastic result.

Quoting Deli_kizin: Daydreamer's next trip is Izmir. End of discussion |
Sounds like an invitation  I wouldn't mind that because of my palm-tree obsession. If only I don't manage to find myself a nice, WARM country to immigrate to, I'll go for a heat treat to Izmir
But, seriously speaking - I'd love to see the Black Sea area the next time.

Hehe Yes it was.
Well, obviously you could spend two or 3 weeks in Turkey next time, of which one in Izmir. Just a suggestion 
Just joking, except for the invitation part ofcourse!

I absolutely share Sophie’s oppinion: I’ve also left part of my heart in Antalya. And not only because of Antalya’s attractions which Sophie mentioned, but mostly because of kindness, warmth and hospitality of the people.
I’ve just came from my holiday, spent in Alanya. At the first sight everything was perfect: beautiful city, all in flowers, with many attractions and breathtaking views, amazing beaches, lots of shops, bars, restaurants; our hotel completely renewed, at the perfect location not to far and not to close to city centre, with excellent service. We went to ineteresting excursions to the places we didn’t visit before, guided by experianced guides. Everyone was kind and helpful. Anyway, I went back home pretty dissapointed: I didn’t feel there as at home, like I did last two years in a small, modest hotel at Antalya’s Lara beach, with people who’s smile was not false but honest and who treated us as a part of the family, not someone who came to spend its money there. And one day spent visiting those people was more valuable for me then all other days of our holiday.
As I’ve already said to my friends: my eyes were full, but my heart was empty
So, Jo_Anne, I don’t think anybody can give you advice as “go there†or “don’t go thereâ€, everything depends of what do you expect of your holiday.

][Whose next trip is to Izmir??????????????????????/]
Landed at Izmir when we went to çeşme. Nice to fly into at night. I like flying at night best not so scary. Istanbul must be amazing to fly into.
After Istanbul, I think I will try ölü Deniz. Whoever mentioned Bursa has got me really intersted.
Lets face it Turkey is a great country wherever you go. We went into the mountains above Manavgat and some boring (you cant beat England Devotee), said "Oh, I thought you had never been to Scotland" I had to show him ügür and the goats etc etc before he would believe that Turkey was as beautiful as Scotland. Everyone to their own, but for me Turkey is en çok güzel.
Bye for now Jo-Anne
