AboutMehmet Expertise I m a retired manager, not a professional on tourism. I want to help visitors as much as I can. I live in Ankara (capital of Turkey), know very well my country. You can ask questions about foreign policy of Turkey too.
Question Hi - i am backpacking around turkey in august for approximately 20 days.
I have a basic itinery in mind but having trouble with how long to stay in each place because i don't really know what is there to see or entertain.
my basic itinery includes, istanbul, galipoli, ephesus, cappadocia, a blue cruise (3 nights) from faiythe to olympos plus a few nights in olympos. as i have 20 days to travel, how long would you recommend in each place and also is it possible to travel around all these places by bus?
i am then heading off to greece (any advice of how to get there best)
thank you so much
