Jewish American Girl, Israeli Boy Travel to Turkey, September 2008

We are writing this blog to share our 2008 adventure in Turkey with our family and friends (and

whoever else comes across this) and to help better inform people thinking about traveling there. A LOT of information we found on the internet was outdated so we hope you enjoy and find it useful!

We planned on being in Turkey for three weeks (September 3-24, 2008); visiting the Black Sea region, the Kackar Mountains, Cappadocia, Antayla, and Istanbul, but we cut it short by 7 days. We were not expecting the country we researched so much about to be so expensive, and we went during Ramadan (pronounced 'Ramazan' in Turkish) which made us feel like we saw the country running only at 30 percent.
