1.0 out of 5 stars A map, October 17, 2002

By	C. Meunier "palaiseau91" (France) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This map is just too small. Names of most streets do not appear on it which makes it useless to find exacltly where you are. Additional information such as public toilets seem a good idea until you realized that you find them everywhere in Istanbul while according to the map there is only one place for the whole city! In conclusion I found this map useful only the first day as a reminder of the layout of the city and never used it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a wonderful map, June 30, 2000

By A Customer

This map was much, much better than any of the maps in our guidebook. It was easy to read, well laid out, and had every point of interest we were interested in clearly marked: mosques, museums, ruins, public transportation, Turkish baths, and even public toilets.

It's actually four maps in one: greater Istanbul, old Istanbul (most of the tourist stuff is here), the Topkapi Palace, and central Istanbul. It also includes a walking tour, an index, and a short Turkish-English glossary.

Don't go to Istanbul without it.

2.0 out of 5 stars A good map, just a bit too small, March 16, 2000

By	Arion Potts (Pullman, Washington USA) - See all my reviews

This is a handy map of Istanbul, but unfortunately, it's lacking in size; If you're just visiting the centre city, it'll be great for your travel needs, but if you're venturing out of the city, it's missing a bit in that department. :o)
