Customer Rating: Summary: overall good Comment: I found this to be a nice overview of Istanbul. However, some of the recommended restaurants/cafes were nowhere to be found, and I was surprised by some prejudiced comments in it.
I would recommend Rick Steves' guide instead- it was very useful for getting the most out of a short trip as well as giving concise history/cultural info, and the DVD (which i borrowed from the library) "Hidden Turkey" was a nice overview of a few aspects of the country (agriculture, food, culture etc.) Customer Rating: Summary: Can't wait to use this. Comment: Istanbul is my next travel destination. I've got all the big books, but I plan to take this one out with me day-by-day. It's got a clear, easy to read map and simple descriptions of the things I want to do. Small enough to fit into any pocket. Customer Rating: Summary: take it anywhere! Comment: So small it can fit in the smallest pocket. Gives the basics. You'll probaby want a more thorough book, but that doesn't mean that you'll want to carry a bigger book around.
