The Rough Guide to Turkey

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, accurate, and detailed guide. Best we have used
Review: 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.

Summary: Best Guide for Turkey
Review: 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!

Summary: IMPERIALSIT TWADDLE, CYNICAL AND UNINSPIRING!
Review: While the Rough Guide to Turkey is definitely useful in terms of practical information, I could not help but get sick of its jaded cynical attitude about the wonderful country I was travelling in. So sick was I of feeling like the raj on an imperialist jaunt that I tossed the book into the Black Sea.....also there was no information on Turkey's rich architectural and artistic traditions in its appendix which would have aided my appreciation of the sights.
