 Dr.Firas by dr.firas It is important not to forget the water when you go in the summer, it is really hot and you will bllame yourself why you didn't brought water, and it is rare to find a water access in Bara and Sergilla, but of course in the city of Idlib itself it is sure easy :-) Leave a Comment

 all i need is a good book:-))) by mikkie50 You do not need to bring much of anything to turkey except for money millions and millions of lira at least you will feel rich for a week or two:-)) the only thing i would realy recommend to bring with you is a very good mossi,e spray / cream jungle force is a good brand
bring good hiking boots a sun hat sooooo hot in the midday sun unless you are in a bar drinking:-) you can buy almost any item of clothing for a bargain
a VERY GOOD TIP bring your own anti hastamine tablets antiseptic creams and ointments and suntan lotions as these can be very exspensive
a good digi camcorder and lots of film
NOTE from the pic dont forget to bring some DIACALM:-)))))))))) time out on the roman loos:-)) Leave a Comment

Try to pack as little as possible if you are moving from hotel to hotel... you can always find stuff there that you need like shampoo, makeup,etc
shorts, light colored shirts. Comfortable sandals( not sneakers all the time because they get too hot. your feet need to breathe).Bring a hat too because the sun is very hot.....
Mosquito repellant( although I did not see one mosquito) but saw a lot of flies, so spray yourself and bring a fly swatter
I brought my digital camera and digital camcorder and now have everlasting memories!!!!!.
Bring wash cloths.......you wont find them in hotels in turkey...... also bring soap because many hotels have those soap dispenser things and they are not that good.... Leave a Comment

 ANOTHER GREAT VIEW FROM OUR BALCONEY by rachel_sun It is safe for women to travel alone in Turkey.You may get suggestions and leers from men,but it is no danger to you.I did and i just said im married and im now meeting someone.Crime is low,people are close knit and respectful and guests are treated very well.There is alittle crime in urban areas,but not more than anywhere.Istanbul has car crime and pickpockets.Just be sensible.The main danger is Diarroea,be careful what you eat and drink.Wash all fruit in bottled water and peel it.Make sure food is fresh and pipping hot.Freshly cooked food is the best.If you have stomoch upset longer than 24 hours ,seek medical help.Avoid heatstroke and alcohol.Do not burn and drink plenty of liquids(non alcoholic during the day).Drink 3 litres of water a day.Do not get bitten,put loads of mossie spray on.Make sure your injections are upto date.ONLY DRINK BOTTLED WATER Leave a Comment

 Hagia Sophia in winter by SirRichard Although most of the tourist go in summer, Turkey is also beautiful in winter. If you come at this season, be prepared for A REAL WINTER. In summer here is bl**dy hot, but in winter is freezing cold, snow and all that, so bring warm clothes.... Leave a Comment

In remote places east of Istanbul Batteries, Photo-equipment and other things, we are used to buy everywhere, might be not available or maybe simply already on stock for years, as tourists come here eventually in summer, but never on a steady basis. Leave a Comment

Visiting a mosque, a man is expected to wear long trousers and a shirt that preferably has long sleeves. A woman is expected to wear clothes that cover the legs and the arms and also a scarf to cover the head. All visitors of a mosque have to take off their shoes and put them on the shelfs at the entrance. Leave a Comment
