Turkey Travel Guides: Start Here
I visited Istanbul in 2019, and I want to go back to the city, as well as more of the country. The people were friendly, they take care of their strays, and there are the best archaeological sites (which I especially loved at the time when I was taking ancient Hittite in school), Islamic art, architecture, food, views and more!
Turkey is such a great travel destination: it’s affordable, has amazing history and beaches and so much great food and culture to experience!
