Hoppa över restaurangerna på Sultanahmet-torget, gå två kvarter bort från turiststråket för äkta mat till halva priset. Fråga lokalborna om tips.

Kuststäder är vackra, men juli kändes som en festival varje dag. Stränder fulla, priser upp och sovandet bullrigt. Åk under skuldersäsongen.

Köp en Istanbulkart på flygplatsen, laddningsbar och mycket billigare än enkelbiljetter. Färjorna slår rusningstrafiken och ger fina vyer.

Ballongsoluppgången i Kappadokien är overklig, men Turkiet överraskade mig: fantastisk mat, kaotiska basarer, vänliga människor. Tio dagar kändes lagom.

Gillade kebaberna och teet, men Istanbul kan vara överväldigande med folkmassor och bullriga nätter. Taxibilar försöker ibland ta mer, så pruta.
