- Cheap. Record low exchange rate. Cheap eats. Walkable cities and cheap, fancy intercity busses.
- Hospitality. Everyone is sooooo nice and will help you and take care of you.
- They love Americans.
- Simit. 'Nuff said.
- Cay. Everywhere.
- Salep on a chilly day.
- It's like Europe, but cheaper and edgier.
- It's not as touristy as many other places — and the tourists it attracts are more worldly, so you don't get as much cheesy junk.
- Mild weather, even in winter. Makes off season travel more enjoyable. They'll tell you it's cold, but it's really mild.
- Cute kitties everywhere! Dogs too. Yes, they're strays, but there is a ''capture, neuter, release'' program in place to humanely reduce the numbers. And locals frequently leave little piles of kibble or food scraps out on the street.

We love foreigners not Americans. If u had come to turkey in 1968-1969, you woulda seen the real face of our society. you know, Capitalist/Alienating exploitations by your governments made the people anti-american too. Anyway, good writing again thx. btw, this post wasn't sent by che guevera or fidel castro.
