Évitez les restos sur la place Sultanahmet, marchez deux pâtés de maisons hors de la zone touristique pour de la cuisine authentique à moitié prix. Demandez aux locaux des recommandations.

Les villes côtières sont belles, mais juillet ressemblait à un festival tous les jours. Plages bondées, prix en hausse, et sommeil bruyant. Va en saison intermédiaire.

Achetez une Istanbulkart à l'aéroport, rechargeable et bien moins chère que les tickets simples. Les ferries évitent les embouteillages aux heures de pointe et offrent de superbes vues.

Le lever de soleil en montgolfière à Cappadoce est irréel, mais la Turquie m'a surpris: nourriture incroyable, bazars chaotiques, gens sympathiques. Dix jours, c'était parfait.

J'ai adoré les kebabs et le thé, mais Istanbul peut être écrasant avec la foule et les nuits bruyantes. Les taxis essaient parfois de surfacturer, alors marchandez.
