Hi Anyone planning a trip to Turkey this July/August,
We will be traveling through Greece and heading for Istanbul and then south, Would be good to meet up!

We’re doing both but not sure of exact dates.
 
Yes. We're back in Crete, will probably leave here mid/end June. Take a week to drive up to cross S of istanbul.
No idea of planned route yet. Will need to revisit all our aborted planning... we were just into Turkey when lockdown 1 hit us. 12 weeks on a Turkish campsite, lovely but didn't see a lot!!! So unfinished business for us. Would like to get to Georgia, but time will be limited to under 3 months ... Turkey is huge meaning some big drives to the main sites.

Keep in touch both.

Hello again,
We have just settled for the weekend at El Saler, Valencia. Having had 2 toasty travel days, now in damp, windy climes.
Many travel ideas running through the head at the moment.
Annoyances:
#1- with myself a little, only decided to do this trip 3 weeks ago when psoriasis and arthritis in knee's started to angrily complain of UK chill and damp, so quit job, gave SWMBO 5 days notice to sort clothes, sorted Covid passes, booked ferry.
#2 - Nil prep or plan except prior experiences. Still undecided on final destination.
#3 - Cannot get to Morocco with Covid travel ban implemented by Spain.

Am still considering Greece as only one prior excursion, enjoyed it, uncertain of Turkey as no prepared planning thus no concept of where to go or what to do.
What was your brief experience?

There is Fb group called Gastrovanner set up for people who like to cook good food in their campers and mohos, there is a contributor called Frenchy le Van who have been touring all round Europe including Turkey and Greece, they are currently in Albania, they have posted masses of really good photos of the places that they have visited along with a great deal of info about the history of those places, so if you are looking for some background it would be a good place to start.
 
I had planned on Turkey for this years Ab4D. The lovely Nic explained to me in great detail, just why I didn’t really want to go there.
The two most important words in any happy marriage. YES DEAR!
That being said, in Portugal and loving it 👍

Ab4D = ?
Cannot fathom it.
 
I have been to Turkey 2 x
No 1 an adventure Tour with Exodus
No 2 with Nida
Cappadoccia both times Konya and Dalyan
A bit of a long drive to get there and again within.
Lots to see and enjoy
 
Do you folks take a ferry from Italy or drive across?

If driving, which routes do you take?

Don’t forget Turkieye is in a serious financial crisis at the moment with spiralling inflation now above 40%. Avoid buying Lira in advance etc.

Aha, would never have guessed it, the one aspect of life noone can predict. Guess if one has glass half full, then you're able to lessen the effects.
