I visited Turkey recently for 12 days and had a really enjoyable experience.
The scene is As described in recent reports. Pricing was fair.
Spent about $95/day on the hobby side. Best part was the variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer questions.
Turkey — rainy season worth going?

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $116/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
