2.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for inaccuracies!, October 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Fodor's Turkey, 4th Edition: The Complete Guide with Ottoman Sites, Ancient Ruins and the Best Beach Resorts (Paperback)

On a recent trip to Istanbul, we found many inaccuracies in the maps and other information. Many destination names were misspelled. Our impression was that the guide was written by someone who knew even less about Turkey and the Turkish people than we did.
