Bren R., I was born in Turkey and came to the States at age 14. I go back there every summer to visit my father and enjoy the Mediterranean. The southwest coast is especially breathtaking for its torquise blue costline full of ruins (amphitheaters, castles, aquaducts, temples, churches), great food, and friendliest people you'd find anywhere. The flight from NY to Istanbul is 9 hours going and 11 hours return, so you'd better apply some nicotine patches before getting onboard. Best time to go is either in June or in September, when tourists are less and weather is not too hot. I would bet that if you go there once, you will surely want to come back again.
Now, I live in CT, close to Mark, and if anyone wants to drop by, you'd be most welcome.
John
