.Turkey (Country Guide)

by: Verity Campbell

April 01, 2007
We just used this guide -- thankfully supplemented by others -- to travel around western Turkey, including Izmir, Selcuk and Istanbul. We found it uniformly atrocious. Lonely Planet, I think, enjoys telling you *every* available restaurant, hotel, and cultural attraction, and aggressively refuses to filter. Consequently, we ended up staying at an abysmal hotel in Izmir and eating at any number of subpar restaurants. When we switched to the Time Out guide for Istanbul, we had nothing but success. I recommend Time Out Istanbul in the highest possible terms, and DISrecommend Lonely Planet Turkey with the same intensity.

.Lonely Planet Istanbul Encounter (Lonely Planet Encounter Series) (Best Of)

by: Verity Campbell

May 01, 2007
I really liked reading the ideas that the locals have for some offbeat sightseeing, also liked the basic instructions for the hamams (which I'd love to do, but need instructions like this in order to feel comfortable enough to try.) I also liked the locals ideas regarding the best place to try for lokum, art, dining, etc.

.Lonely Planet East Coast Australia

by: Verity Campbell, Peter Cruttenden, Kate Daly, Chris Rowthorn

2002-10
My husband and I took a 18 day trip from Sydney to Cairnes, and used this book for almost all of our motels/B&B's, etc. We were looking to budget less than $100/night for rooms, and all the recommendations in this book were spot-on. The maps of towns are okay, but you'll want a full-size map to get around with and figure distances, too.

.Lonely Planet Istanbul

by: Tom Brosnahan, Verity Campbell

2002-02
Evaluated this in bookstore, but the LP Turkey had a bigger section on Istanbul and seemed better to buy overall. LP Istanbul didn't attract me with its layout, when compared to DK Istanbul. I could get a much better "big picture" using DK. Tom is an authority on travel to Turkey, and I think his website does a much better job at showcasing his expertise than this book does--it's more dynamic, updated, has discussion forums.

.Lonely Planet Turquia (Lonely Planet. (Spanish Guides))

by: Verity Campbell, Jean-Bernard Carillet, Dan Eldridge

April 30, 2008
The guide is very complete almost every relevant town in Turkey has a description.

The history glimpse is very interesting. The descriptions of hotels and places to eat is very helpfull. The taste of the author is low cost oriented, my wife and me we had to choose from high price hotels.

The guide should be improved with a more extensive description of important places museum and arqueological sites. This is important because tourism in Turkey is very undeveloped and there are not maps and descriptions of what are you viewing. Apparently, there is an agreement between government and local vendors in order not to provide maps or good descriptions in order to force tourist to buy booklets or hire guides. When you visit 2 or three ... Read More:
