For me, the happiest moments of Ankara have always been the times when I was coming back to Istanbul..

 sentences from a stateless person. I'm not surprised.

Apparently it was  Yahya Kemal..
 (I thought it was  'sait faik' first..
  ) 
 Well..actually..for a person who is a an istanbulie, living in  Ankara will be like 'a seagull living in steppe'.

 I know exactly what you mean.  I too have heard this phrase but not related to a Turkish location. oooooooh!
 
 I think it's one of those phrases that has become common in many countries.
 
 I once heard it put this way too:
 
 The best thing about x x x x is the sign as you're leaving "z z z z"  120 miles.
 
 or
 
 The best thing about x x x is the road out of there.
 
 My dead says about a place in Scotland, "there are only 2 good things about that place . . . the whisky and the road out.
