 First steps to Turkey January 31, 2002

This is the best single guidebook we've found for Turkey. We escort small groups to Turkey, and the Rough Guide is consistently the best single reference for general and historical information. Combined with the Blue Guide to Turkey, it's easy to plan your trip. As usual with the Rough Guides, it has a lot of information for many types of travelers without sacrificing cultural and historical details. Well organized, with good maps (much better than the Lonely Planet series)
Excellent, accurate, and detailed guide. Best we have used August 30, 1999

We used the Rough Guide to Turkey in the summer of 99. Compared to other guides this is the best we have used. While there were a few areas that needed updating, if the guide said a tout would appear to lead you through tunnel, it would happen with uncanny accuracy. Provides almost-guide quality history with substantial detail. Only criticism was that hotel/restaurant not complete but good enough. We used for auto trip Instanbul/Capadoccia/Med coast.
The best guide book possible May 20, 2003

The Rough Guide to Turkey is extremely comprehensive and fun. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in Turkey, not only to those who will be visiting.

We used this guide in the summer of 1999 and it was by far the most comprehensive. It was willing to guide us more off the beaten path than others. Go to Turkey and bring this book!
 One of the better Turkish guidebooks, still not great though July 27, 2001

If you are travelling throughout Turkey, this is one of the better Turkish guidebooks, especially since it covers quite a wide breadth of areas. On the down side, I would have preferred more comprehensive maps (and more maps period). Also, it is not particularly conducive to travellers making plans to be travelling in different areas day-to-day. For example, we were on the Southern Coast and wanted to head up to Ephesus. But it was difficult to schedule the trip, as they were all-day trips offered on Wednesday and Saturday only. And since every tour operator in town had the same schedule, we had no alternatives. It would have been nice to know that there are lots of 2 day trips to Ephesus/Pammulkae. I wish that they had more on the short trips within the country. On the upside, the lodging and restaurant suggestions were excellent. If you are going to Istanbul, definitely get the Eyewitness Guide. It is excellent (too bad it's only for Istanbul). Overall, I would recommend this for those travelling outside of Istanbul.
