I visited Turkey recently for 10 days and had a solid experience.

The scene is Better than expected. Excellent value.

Spent about $70/day on the hobby side. Best part was how easy everything was.

Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

Happy to answer questions.

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience there last month.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
