take warm clothes but be prepared to lug them around in the heat on Anzac Day.

Ankara'nın havası kışın çok tehlikeli olabilir :) Kuru soğuklar kasımdan sonra etkili olmaya başlar ve ünlü Ankara ayazı canınızı sıkabilir. O yüzden kalın giyinmekte fayda var. Eldiven, bere, atkı gibi aksesuarları kesinlikle atlamamak lazım zira kuru soğuk açıkta kalan ye...

There is no place where you can party better than in Bodrum, Turkey. This is the place you have to be at, when you want to party in Turkey. Especially the disco 'halikarnas' is very likable. We went there when there was a foomparty, which was much fun. The disco is open so you can see the sky and yo...

It's fine to travel alone. My Turkish is god awful and I was able to manage navigating the city by myself. I never felt threatened. People are very nice and eager to give you directions. Like any large city be careful at night and do some research into the neighborhoods you plan on visiting.

I went to Istanbul with the idea of not going alone. In the end, I was alone. The first day I went out I couldn't take two steps without havin' another man approach me (no joke). It was the white skin, blonde hair that screamed to them to approach me. It was overwhelming. The other nine days I w...

I recommend the Bosphorus Boat Ride. You can purchase tickets at Kadikoy. I took my young cousins on it ages 6, 8 and 10. Basically, the boat cruises by sights, the kids enjoy being on the boat, especially if you tell them to look out for dolphins, it keeps them occupied (we actually saw some). It's...

Dear Marzi,
I understand your worries about being alone in a foreign country. But I must admit that the Turkish people are the world champions in Hospitality. So you don't have to worry ; but you have to be careful as anywhere in the world !
Enjoy your stay, in this amazing country.

It is a pretty safe country. I have travelled a lot through Turkey (also alone). Just be carefull at night, turkish men like European girls. When you go away from the coast, into the mountains, try to cover up your body a bit. No burka ofcourse ha ha but adapt a little to their culture.

I felt quite safe in Turkey even when I was alone. I was pick-pocketed in Istanbul, but that could happen in any big city.
