Hi there, I’m heading to Turkey soon for a solid month. I was thinking of exploring the Aegean coast, but I’m a bit worried about crowds… even though it’ll be mid-September. Any hidden gems or favorite spots you’d recommend? Quiet beaches, maybe? Thanks for your tips! Patricia

A disastrous experience with Lastminute.com – Family left outside with no assistance

I booked a stay at the Akgun Istanbul Hotel via for a total of 3 884 €. Despite receiving a booking confirmation, the hotel refused to accommodate us. My wife was sick, we had two children with us, and we literally found ourselves outside with no help at all. We had to book another hotel at our own expense, and even with the evidence we provided (medical documents, receipts, exchanges with customer service), only refunded 717 €. Customer service refused to reopen the case, completely ignoring the exceptional circumstances. No gesture, no assistance, no respect.

I strongly advise against using this platform for anyone traveling with family or in sensitive situations. If something goes wrong, you’ll be on your own.

Hello!

I’m planning to spend nearly 3 weeks in the sun in September (from mid-September to October 7th).

I’d prefer a sunny destination. I was thinking of places like Turkey, Greece, an Eastern European country (Georgia, Bulgaria, etc.), the Canary Islands, Portugal, or even South Africa.

The idea is to mix visits to monuments, hikes in parks, and some beach relaxation.

I’m primarily looking for female travel companions for convenience, ideally around my age (I’m 42).

I usually organize my trips solo without going through an agency.

Once there, I’m used to walking a lot and getting around by public transport (train, coach, bus, etc.).

Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Have a great day! !

Hi there, I’m planning to head to Asia by motorcycle in September. I’d like to know if it’s still possible to cross Iran... If not, what other routes might be feasible in the fall? Thanks in advance for your feedback! Franck

Hi there,

Do you have a hotel near the cruise port (or easy to reach by metro with luggage) to recommend? I’m planning to spend two days there before boarding.

Thanks in advance! Claudine

hi, is there (still) a ferry route between southern Turkey (Iskenderun) and Haifa? direct or not?

I’m from Quebec and I love cruises, but unfortunately my husband doesn’t like flying. I’ve been on several cruises and I’d love to find a companion to share this passion with. Thanks!

I’m looking for a man I met 42 years ago in Calvi, Corsica. His name at the time was Ayat Azir, and he’s Turkish from Izmir. He was in the 2nd REP with the French Foreign Legion. It’s been a long time, but I’d really love to find him again. Thanks for your help.

Hi there. About a month ago, I posted a potential itinerary for Bulgaria and Istanbul, but in the end, since we found some relatively cheap flight tickets to Istanbul, we decided to go for a trip to Turkey instead.

When? 2 weeks, late August (14th to 29th) Who? Dad, mom, a 17-year-old teen, and an 11-year-old child

Here’s our plan: do you think it’s doable? Any practical tips?

We start with 4 full days in Istanbul (5 nights) Then, we rent a car and head to Ephesus. We stay there for 1 day (2 nights) After that, we drive to Kaş. We stay there for 4 full days (5 nights), enough time to relax a bit, see Kaputaş Beach and Kekova, the site of Myra, the site of Patara, and possibly the site of Çıralı/Olympos—even though it’s a bit far—and Saklıkent Gorge. From Kaş, we spend 2 nights near Denizli to see Pamukkale and Aphrodisias. Is it possible to visit both sites in the same day? Then, we travel from Pamukkale back to Istanbul, return the car, and spend one last night in Istanbul.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Hi everyone,

I’d like to do a 5-month motorcycle road trip from Turkey to Vietnam. To do this, I’d like to buy a used bike locally. Do you know what steps are involved (especially the administrative ones for insurance, registration, etc.)? Are they quick? And do you know any reliable places to buy a used motorcycle?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

What are your positive and negative experiences with dental implants in different countries around the world? Looking for something like 4-5 dental implants, good quality-to-price ratio.

Thanks.

Hi there, I’ll be in Istanbul from May 8 to 17, 2025. I’ve got one free day. I’m torn between the Princes' Islands or Bursa.... If you had to choose, where would you go??? Thanks so much for your suggestions and opinions.

Hello, We’re considering a cruise that stops in Izmir and offers 3 excursions: EPHESUS 'EPHESUS & THE HOUSE OF THE VIRGIN MARY' EPHESUS AND THE TERRACE HOUSES Could you give us some advice? Thanks! Best regards,

Hi everyone, and happy New Year! Can you find screw-on gas canisters for camping stoves in Turkey? Thanks in advance, and safe travels! David

Hi, we’re planning a 15-day road trip in mid-May. We’d like to rent a vehicle with a reliable agency (I’d seen CIZGI, but the reviews are really mixed). Rates with full insurance are around 1000 € or even more…) Do you know of a rental company that won’t rip us off? Thanks for your help. Praline33

Hello, We’re planning (two people in their early sixties!) a trip to Cappadocia next April for 9 days on site, and I need your help.

We land in Ankara. We’re planning 1 day in the capital, then taking a bus to Göreme. I’ve read that Göreme is very touristy and that it’s better to stay in Urgup (or elsewhere). What do you think?

From there, I’m not really sure how to organize our sightseeing "circuit" to avoid too much back-and-forth and keep it coherent… and that’s where I could use your help! We enjoy nature but also cities, a bit of hiking, and discovering unusual spots. Is it necessary to rent a car for more flexibility, or are public transport options doable without losing too much time?

Final question: Is 6 or 7 days in Cappadocia too long? If so, what would you recommend nearby without spending hours on a bus? We prefer seeing less but better, and without rushing too much. Thanks so much, and if you have any great budget-friendly tips, don’t hesitate!! Thanks.

Saturday, November 9, 2024 We left the house in the late morning, heading to the nearby airport parking lot, shuttle, formalities, and a quiet flight on a half-empty plane. Three hours eastward, we arrived in pitch-black night. Like everywhere in the world, we entered the city by crossing a vast, garish commercial zone, then the roads turned into streets, then alleys. Eventually, our driver had to stop to move poorly parked scooters so his oversized minibus could pass. We arrived in the middle of the old town, in a huge old house. We’re thrilled. The neighborhood is lively, full of atmosphere. Hungry and exhausted, we ate (very well) at the hotel restaurant, then strolled around. First impressions are promising!







Sunday, November 10, 2024 Antalya In this part of the world, there are some quirks that don’t always suit us infidels! Here in Antalya, the religious influence is still pretty light. You can drink freely, girls can save a lot on fabric—it’s all good, no one’s gonna say anything. But there’s the muezzin. That lanky guy who belts out his tune five times a day from the top of his minaret didn’t spare us this morning. Just a heads-up, we’ve got a two-hour time difference, and this guy starts his serenade at 4 AM, right in the middle of the night. That’s early!

Anyway, we recover, have breakfast, and realize that in terms of revered figures, Atatürk doesn’t take a backseat to the prophet responsible for our nighttime disturbances. We’d already been surprised by how ubiquitous his portrait is, but on the restaurant terrace, we see it’s a full-blown cult. There’s a little altar with rose petals under his portrait. First thing in the morning, the staff lines up to pay their respects, then sings a stirring hymn while some customers stand, hand on heart.

Right after breakfast, we set off like explorers through the old town. It’s incredible how many walls, monuments, and statues have survived from the glorious Greek and Roman eras. Back then, they built things to last!

hi Are there any ferries that take cars from Turkey to the Greek islands—for example, Bodrum to Kos? Could you give me the details? Thanks

Bonjour, Pourriez-vous me conseiller une belle rando avec belles vues (bord de mer ou montagne) à proximité d'Antalya (max une heure de transport) ? Ce serait pour marcher maximum 4 heures avec des enfants de 7 et 4 ans (qui marchent). Le départ de la voie lycienne ou Themessos, par exemple est-ce que ce sont de bons plans ? Merci
