When starting to research your next travel adventure, its best to get your information from people who have been there, done that... Someone who has been to the places you want to see and experienced the things you want to experience.
The blogs below are good resources for information and colourful stories of the writer’s own adventures.
If you want a blog that gives you not only information
about places to visit and things to see but also food you must eat and
traditions you should witness or can participate in, check out
turkishtravelblog.com. Natalie is originally from the UK and moved to
Turkey and now has a goal of seeing everything and going everywhere the
country has to offer. It’s a tall order but she’s up for it!
This blog is a little more technical and informational. It
offers how-to’s and suggested companies to use for certain things from
tours to travel arrangements. With a focus on the larger cities, this is
a good start if you’re planning your first trip to Turkey and want to
do the standard, tourist based things.
This blog includes travels from Turkey, Poland, and other
places both domestic and international. The blog writer, Joy, is a
pastry chef and focuses on food in many of her articles.
Travellerspoint is a great resource for posts by many
people and many things sorted by country. Not only does it give people’s
perceptions of the places they visit but also talks about important
topics while traveling. These posts include traveling alone as a woman,
customs in the country you’re going to, and how to handle medical
emergencies in the country you’re visiting.
Food, food, food, and more food! If you’re going to find
yourself in Istanbul and consider yourself a foodie, this is the blog
for you! Not only does this site include reviews and restaurant
suggestions, there is also a section to find authentic Turkish recipes
to try at home!
An American woman who moved from San Francisco to Istanbul
updates this blog about her life in the city. This is a more
down-to-earth blog, which includes commentary on local news and
political unrest and is a helpful perspective on life in Turkey.
The Turkish Cultural Foundation maintains this useful and
informative website. There are portals for cuisine, music, culture, and
connecting with people. If you want to brush up on your cultural
references, works of art, or find a connection in Turkey this is a great
resource.
