An indispensable companion,
Even for one who has travelled and worked in Turkey off and on for the past 29 years, this volume is an indispensable resource for both practical information and its brief but almost always interesting historical highlights. As an historian and archaeologist who has excavated in Turkey and has led a dozen university-sponsored study-tours through the country, I too have noticed some of the errors and omissions that have caused earlier reviewers distress; but such mistakes are few, are inevitable in a book with such a broad chronological and geographical scope, and are easily outweighed by Tom Brosnahan’s obvious knowledge of and affection for the country’s past and present. It’s worth remembering that this volume does not claim to be an exhaustive historical guide to the country, but rather a handy and portable reference to all aspects of touring in Turkey. For me, it is second only to my wife as my favourite travelling companion in Anatolia.

|overall, good, solid practical information,
I love Turkey. I stayed in a small village in Central Anatolia for a total of 12 weeks over 2 summers studying archaeology. The second summer, my husband and I travelled in Western Turkey for 2 weeks. Neither of us really knew what we were doing (or knew much Turkish). We depended on the Lonely Planet to find out how to get to the places we are going and where to stay and eat. I have read several guides, and the Lonely Planet has the best practical information, although I did notice some small inaccuracies.
I would suggest supplementing the Lonely Planet with another guide that has more archaeological and historical information, if you are interested in it. Also, you will need a book or the advice of a friend to help you narrow down what to see. The Lonely Planet can leave you overhwelmed.
