Have a great time, enjoy there and take photos for us!!! Regards to your special lady too.

I agree with Sophie, Istanbul is became more and more expensive. In any case I would never change it with any other city in the world! By the way what about prices in Cappadocia? I will go there on July

Its great Kadir!!!! But there is no greek written (( Turkey in Greek language is such a beautiful word

I like Melek (means Angel) and Ayşen ( I think that means the smily moon, correct?)

Too nice idea Erdinc! In greek language we call Turkia! I do like this word. The tone is on i.

To be honest, I like to see the covered women on the Turkish roads. It is so traditional! I have also seen a little girl covered but she seems to had no problem, playing with uncovered kids near Golden horn. If a woman likes to be covered, then what is the problem? On the other hand, the god is in us, we can adore him as we wish, with no labels. In fact, any time I am outside a cami, I feel to make my cross, as being in a church!

Hoşgeldiniz
It sounds great, and it is so popular word in there!

As I am visiting Istanbul at least once a month, I will arrange my holidays to Cappadocia (not Istanbul as usual). I will go there by the end of July with my husband to celebrate our first anniversary. We have promised to be every year somewhere in Turkey on this date, so as to remember our wonderful wedding in Istanbul.

We need this hope Sophie mou Especially these days...

Thank you Sophie I will try to find it in Greek also. Exactly our ideas! We have nothing to share with people so similar to us, so close to us. I believe that the only way to change our minds is the two people to be closer. If a Greek has a contact with a Turkish, they will feel like brothers, believe me... In fact they are the only ones who are lauphing with the same jikes with us !

I think that he wanted to say that you have something special, a comando boyfriend.

Please could somebody translate the following???
Dikkatli gelin arabayla geliyorsanız olur mu?

Dikkatli gelin arabayla geliyorsanız olur mu?
Please translateeeee!!!!! Thank youuuu

I think that is allowed for Turkish to visit just the islands without visa for a few days during the summer. Unfortunatelly it is not possible for a Turkish to visit Athens without a visa. Us, silly greeks, you see!

Being away from Greece, I have not seen "our, Greek" videoclip, but after reading Sophie's message I am sure it is a disaster!
What about the song? Voice of Vissi is nice , but this is not enough I think!

Thank you all guys))

Oh , you might be crazy to leave Istanbul for Ukraine!!! (I am also crazy as I have left Greece for moving in Bulgaria!) I hope the weather to be fine, I want to walk a lot!

I am so happy! Tomorrow I will be again in Istanbul after 8 months. I cannot wait to see my friends and to walk on the Istanbul's roads! I will leave at night, I want to be there as soon as possible, even if I have not to sleep all night!
I just wanted to share my happiness with all of you!!!

Günaidın!!!
I love Orhan Pamuk's books, "Istanbul" , the last one, is fabulus!
I have also red the WHITE CASTLE, THE NEW LIFE, MY NAME IS RED and the BLACK BOOK.
If I remember well, the official site of his, is www.orhanpamuk.com
I also have to suggest AZIZ NESIN, he is my favorite Turkish writer.
I suggest the "Böyle Gelmis, Böyle Gitmez", you will love it!

tamam (ok)

rahat (relax)

In Greece we use to say "Do not leave for tomorrow anything you can do today"... If we all feel that this day would be our last, how many things we could do in a better way?
Thanks for the poems cruisins... just nice

Welcome back Slavica!!! I am sure you had a great time there . Turkey and Turkish people are soooo nice. Did you taste their lovely food as well? Looking forward to have the details about the trip

Konat You might know that after this event in Sivas, Aziz Nesin told that "from now on I will be alone, I do not want the deaths of others instead of mine". Aziz Nesin's books was on of the reason that I learn Turkish. So as to read the originals. Konat, I hope to meet you in the Foundation someday, they have a fabulus festival on Children's Day, April 23

If anybody knows the famus Turkish writer Aziz Nesin, may also know the Nesin Foundation.
Nesin Foundation has been established on 1972 by Aziz Nesin in the town of Catalca, 40km from Istanbul. The purpose of the Foundation was the "hospitality" of poor children all around Turkey.
Nowadays about 45 children are living in the foundation, ages from 2 to 26. The staff of the Foundation are volunteers who give all their love and care to these children.
The only income of the Foundation are the donations from people all around the world and the income from Aziz Nesin's books as well.
I have visited the Foundation last month, and I was so surprised of that nice place, it seems like a big house for a very big family. The children there are growing up near the nature and have a lot of alternatives for their free time after school ( ceramik workshop, wood workshop , painting, learning chess are some of them). The other thing surprised me was the number of books in the two libraries of the Foundation, so many books for all the ages!
I think it will be very interesting to have a look in the Foundation's official page (in Turkish):

Today Bliss has his Birthday... Lot's of wishes and all our love to him!

Lyndie you have to get there We Greeks are calling Istanbul "Poli" which means "The City"... That's because Istanbul is The City... the most magnifficent city in the whole world I think. Once you get there you will always miss it

Hmmmm. şeker has no common first or last letter with yumurta... But do u know that there is a custom to give to Turkish babies şeker, yumurta and pamuk as present?
şeker for having a sweet life,
yumurta so as to be fertile,
pamuk for being so old to have white hair like pamuk (cotton)

I was smiling about the soy, because in Greece we use exact the same word! Soy means the family, the keen. So your hubby's surname is the Golden Family Nice surnameAksaray is nice place as well

I mostly like Melek . It means Angel

I wish you to have a nice trip Seticio I will also be in Istanbul by the end of the month, and I understand how happy and excited you may feel

"To be, to love and to smile, "
The famous turkish writer Aziz Nesin told so and he was so right!

Aferin! Just nice

Merhaba, benim adim Georgia. Ben Yunan
(My turkish are not that good yet)!
I am 33 yo and I love Turkey. I hope to live in Istanbul some day. I hope to meet new friends here

I admire most Aziz Nesin, who was a famous Turkish writer. I have read all his books which are translated in Greek. I do not admire him only as writer, but as a very special person as well. He has founded in 1972, a Foundation (Nesin Vakif) in Catalca for poor children. I hope that all the Turkish people will visit the foundation some day

Istanbul is the most beautiful city in whole world (and I have traveled a lot, believe me ). I hope to go there someday and never come back again. Every time I leave Istanbul my heart is staying there I will be there in July and having my wedding ceremony in Edirnekapi It is not because I am so religius so as to get married in Patriarchate but because it is THE only way to have my wedding in my dearest city All you live there are soooo lucky that I envy you!

I am not affraid of death... In fact, I am curious about what happens then and how it will long. Try to think this "forever"... Maybe it will be the only real neverlasting...

Selam! Although my country was the winner, I think that Hungary's and Moldava's songs were better. I have to thank Turkish People for giving 12 to us, although Greece was so impolite and did not vote the Turkish Song
