5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Travel Guide on Turkey, June 17, 1999
By A Customer
Open Road's Turkey Guide is one of the best travel guides I've used in any country. The authors' profound cultural and historical understanding of Turkey is expressed in a readable and entertaining style. The hotel reccomendations are right on target for comfortable lodging in places with character. The suggested itineraries at the beginning of the book helped us decide among the many great areas of the country to explore. The book led us to the brilliant, contorted rockscape of Cappadoccia, (with thousands of caves carved by early Christians); to extraordinary ancient ruins; and to pristine beaches. Turkey is a great country for travel and Turkey Guide shows you how to do it right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peck and Sachet know Turkey!, May 11, 2006
By James Roche "cooljames" (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the best coverage of Turkey that I've seen. I've been there many times, and advise this series of books for my friends. The authors are definitely not turkeys.

The best part of the series is the in-depth attention to detail for cultural aspects of the region and the changing face of the middle east. I fear that my first trip would have gone very poorly if I didn't have their advice. Turkey is an odd country, and the authors do a very nice job of simplifying the culture to an extent where you can understand the motivation of the residents with regard to the history and religious influence of the region.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY POOR!
Unfortunately the content is very superficial and has been written by someone who is not familiar with the Turkish culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Great Turkish Travel Guide
Wow! I'm not usually big on travel writing, but this is no ordinary travel writing. Most guides, especially in series like this one, are shallow and touristy and cobbled together... Read more
