Turkey Handbook: The Travel Guide (Footprint Handbooks) Book

Colorful carpets, mosques, and teahouses create the stereotypically legendary scenes of the Turkish lifestyle. This Footprint handbook describes where to experience these traditional lifestyle elements while recognizing the western influences that are making this country more modern. All of Turkey is covered, from the city attractions of Istanbul to countryside getaways, the popular resorts and sights of the Aegean and Mediterranean coast, to the landscape of Cappadocoia. This guide highlights preserved landmarks, historic districts, and ancient sites and antiquities countrywide, as well as outlining a full range of outdoor activities and adventure sports. Comprehensive listings of a wide array of accommodations are offered, including restored Ottoman mansions, treehouses, subterranean grottoes, and nomadic tents, along with more traditional pensions and hotels.Read More
