The Turkish Delight

It took me a while to decide whether I should write in Indonesian or English. I honestly prefer Indonesian, since I am used to telling my traveling stories in my own native language. Gives me more flexibility to express my feelings and thoughts. Still, knowing that writing in English might be more helpful to wider audience, I chose English in the end. For this one.

Because I found it soooo hard to find legit information and reviews about Turkey! I had a Turkish holiday two weeks ago. Spent 8 days travelling around the country; visiting Istanbul, went all the way to Kudasasi, Selcuk, Kapadokya, Konya, Ankara, and back to the European side.

My mother and I initially planned to go on our own and use our self-made itinerary. We browsed and browsed and browsed, trying to arrange a solid travel plan. No luck. The major difficulty was finding a detailed, updated information about Turkey's public transportation, both inside and between cities. Since we did not want to take the risk of getting lost in our way, we ended up registering ourselves for a tour.

So.. with a sincere desire to share, I hope this post can be of use for anyone who is planning to travel to Turkey. And who knows may also change your mind to consider making Turkey your next holiday destination and not other countries! :)
