Turkey is pretty fab if you’re a history buff. There’s so much to see. Just search for historical landmarks anywhere in Turkey on Google Maps and you’ll see what I mean.

Incredible links, thanks for sharing. I had the fortune to visit Turkey when I was younger (Istanbul, Kusadasi) but didn't fully appreciate it. My sense of Anatolia is there is so much rich historical treasure, loosely scattered across a huge country with not much in between and difficult to get places. How and where would you suggest to start, if i wanted to plan a trip?

There's so much to see, I'd have a hard time even recommending a place to start. I haven't been to a place I didn't like yet. I decided that at some future point, I'm simply going to come back and pick up where I left off.

What I did personally was fly into Istanbul, then I drove to Göreme, down to Antakya, and then started driving back up along the coast. There's so much to see, I'm kind of overwhelmed. It's a good problem to have :)
