Has anyone been to Turkey?

I went to Istanbul and Kusadasi on a Contiki Cruise. Highly recommend checking out the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar in Istanbul. Also do a turkish bath, it's a rather bizarre experience! Smoke some shisha, enjoy the food.

I live in Istanbul. If you are coming here, you should see all of the places Bucky listed. I recommend you to take a ferry and feed the seagulls (it's an awesome experience because they will come very close to you ) You should definitely go to the Galata Tower, Taksim - Istiklal, Dolmabahçe Palace (where Atatürk died), Beylerbeyi Palace, Topkapı Palace, Basilica Cistern (very close to the Blue Mosque), Rumelian Castle (I don't know if they let people in anymore but even if they don't, you can still get a close view of the Bosphorus and walk by the seaside) or just take a Bosphorus Tour (there are so many tour ships in Eminönü and it's not expensive). Maiden's Tower is also a must-see. It's in the middle of the sea but there are ships that can take you there. For a very nice view, I recommend you to go to Büyük Valide Han in Fatih for a view of Istanbul from a rooftop. At first, you will enter a dark and abandoned building then a man will open the door for you for just 1 Turkish Lira so you can enjoy the rooftop as long as you want. Now for food... Turkish coffee, Turkish delight, Hookah (Çorlulu Ali Paşa Medresesi and Tophane has the best ones, in my opinion), Baklava, Kebab, Gözleme, Rakı and many many more... These are all that comes to my mind right now. If you're not going to Istanbul but another city, let me know so I can recommend stuff.
