What's brought us back for over 20 years? The people and the food. :ghug

What would we change? Better flight times over the whole 12 months. :fly

I would change nothing, It's perfect the way it is, As for flight times use British Airways get ripped of more :lol:

Flights that arrive in Turkey in the evening and small hours of am are actually cheaper for the Airlines than it is during the day. that tells you something.

I would agree with you nikki about the 2hours transfer and why do they have to stop on the way for a break all you want to do is get there!!

Some people like to smoke some people need the Loo, If no one left the Bus they would soon return to drive the final 45 minutes.

Worst thing - prices at the Airport and length of transfer.

Best thing, Weather, people, food, day trips, night life, friendliness, I could go on and on, but I think we all love everything about Turkiye.

Im not eithier and would prefer if the Bus just continued its Journey, But next time you stop have a look at the Bus driver and the Tour rep when they go for something to eat or drink, They dont have to pay for their's,lol.

Worst thing for me is Turkish price and tourist price, also ripping people off is fairly common.

I cant pinpoint the best thing, its a combination of things that make Turkey unique and a fabulous place to visit.

The best things are:-
The friendliness of the turks themselves,The constant sun,the free Pedalos,Free Canoes,Free Internet in hotels,Efes,and the food overall.
The worst things are:-
The treatment of the stray dogs and cats,Bodrum airport rip-off food prices,Tourist prices and turk prices,Haggling,Market traders body odour etc.

The good certainly outweighs the bad and I wouldn't go anywhere else!!
