Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2014 | From the port of Kuşadası, we wander the streets of ancient Ephesus, soak in a natural spa at Pamukkale, learn why the dervishes whirl at Konya, munch lunch in a Turkish pizzeria, and cruise the Mediterranean on a traditional Turkish gulet from Antalya. Turkey is a mighty nation whose ancient heritage, Muslim faith, and western ways are coming together...and we’ll see how. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #turkey

    What I like about Rick Steve is that he is so positive about the people and places he presents. At a time when we're all becoming very suspicious or each other, Rick still shows us as common people, with hospitality towards visitors, pride in our customs, and more in common than differences. Thanks Rick.

    Yes I remember Turkey a beautiful country with beautiful friendly people.
  • We've been watching Turkish soap operas here in Puerto Rico. And they are very good. Translated into the Spanish language of course.

    I live in Izmir, which is the city that contains Ephesus and this 30 min video is the best Western Turkey Travel video I have ever seen.
  • Turkey is a great country with captivating landscape, rich culture and beautiful people. God bless Turkey. Greetings from Somalia.

    Greetings from Thailand. I definitely must visit Turkey once in a life time. Actually, I am very hungry right now, while watching this. Turkey's foods look so amazing.

    Sen KKTC'yi Türk toprağı olarak saydın ya işte orada gönlümü fethettin be Rick. Zaten sıcak kanlı sempatik bir adamdın, kanım sana daha da ısındı. Abone olup videolarını izleyip beğenmek farz oldu bu saatten sonra.

  • I did this exact trip a few years ago plus most of Turkey. Love the country and it's people.

    Turkish people are not European nor Asian. We're Eurasian. My mom's half Bulgarian (Pomak) and half Circassian. My father's mother was half Kurdish half Turkish and my father's dad was half Greek half Turk from Crete. What do you think am I? European or Asian? I have light brown hair, green slender-ish eyes and white skin. As I told you, We're Eurasians, we Turks have roots from Asia and Europe at the same time.
