Turkey by foot, thumb, dolmus and Lonely Planet
By D. D. LeDu
My wife and I are in our 60s, and travel light — with one change of clothes, two toothbrushes, a laptop and two cameras. We spent 7 weeks in central Turkey in 2010, 10 weeks in 2011 and are returning for 11 weeks in 2012. We travel cheap, without an fixed itinerary, and use inexpensive lodging and eateries.

The Lonely Planet guide was our travel bible. Whenever we met another trekker (as opposed to a tourist) we found that (regardless of nationality) a worn copy of Lonely Planet protruded from his knapsack.

Lonely Planet is not for upscale tourists; they should use a Frommers (which is useless for us). One drawback is Lonely Planet’s popularity. We repeatedly found that any hotel well-recommended would raise its rates 25% to 50%. We would go to a “lesser” selection.

Are there shortcomings? That is a moot question, since there is none better.

much better, easier to read the print size
By Barbara Takumi
The previous book was too hard to read because of the print size and the arrangement of
topics was so condensed that comprehension was compacted.

This new version is much, much better. In fact, I had to look twice, since I had also ordered
the Eyewitness series on Turkey. This time the descriptions are a pleasure to read and comprehend.

I find the list of “sleeping” areas is too limited, so use the eyewitness Turkey book to compare
hotels. Still love the historical notes and book recommendations. Read 3 of the 5 books listed
last time to prep for my trip.

Love the improvement.

Horrible!
By Brandi Spelbring
This is the worst guide book ever. It is NOT a new edition. It over three years old with a new picture pasted on the front. Do your research Lonely Planet. Most of the prices are wrong, and half of the hotels and restaurants are no longer open or have different names. This is a huge waste of money. Do not buy this if you plan to actually go to Turkey. This book does not make me want to travel around Turkey. The writing is atrocious and it appears that whoever wrote this does not enjoy writing or traveling. Such a huge disappointment.
