Never been to Turkey but it sounds lovely. I'll have to see if I can get there.

It's back to Tanzania and Kenya this year but I might have next year free. I generally travel in December any special events to see in that month? Is that considered off-season so things are a little cheaper or not?

December is definitely off season and dirt cheap. But I would stick to the southern shore for ok weather and outdoors activities and only venture north (Cleveland weather) to view museums. Istanbul, Bursa and Ankara would be good cities to visit, and you could get a little skiing done while in Bursa. What do you do in Africa?

What do you think Mort?

I'm an average white, cultural-Christian American who has never been to Turkey.
I'm sure a_Turk will fill you in, but I can say that my boss and his family (average American
types like me, just more liberal!) went to Turkey for the last two weeks of December
about 4 years ago and loved it.

My knowledge of Turkey is vicarious, but I get the feeling that it's a good place and
you can tour it safely, while supporting the tourist economy of a country where
your tourist dollars will be appreciated.
