-
Turkey by Cadogan
- Price: £14.99 Add to Basket
- A great cultural guide with decent practical information for the traveller on a slightly more generous budget.
-
Turkey by Eyewitness
- Price: £14.99 Add to Basket
- It can not match the Rough Guide for depth of detail but it is a very useful guide. The excellent maps, comprehensive if pithy description and mass of photos give an excellent overview of the country.
-
Turkey by Lonely Planet
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- A standard Travel Survival Kit with very good practical information but somewhat cursory description of the sights. For those not addicted to Lonely Planet, we recommend the Rough Guide as much the better general guide.
-
Turkey by Rough Guides
- Price: £15.99 Add to Basket
- Much the best general guide to Turkey with accurate practical information and intelligent coverage of the sights. It even covers the east of the country in remarkable depth. Highly recommended.
-
Turkey by Insight Guides
- Price: £16.99 Add to Basket
- Essays on history and culture are followed by a thorough regional survey, all supported by a wealth of photographs. As such, this makes an excellent introduction to the country and aid to planning. We would rather carry around, however, a Rough Guide.
-
The Kackar: Trekking in Turkey's Black Sea Mountains by Kate Clow
- Price: £13.99 Add to Basket
- For serious trekkers and casual walkers alike the Kackar offer breathtakingly beautiful routes. An excellent guide that is highly recommended.
-
Turkey Special Places to Stay by Sevan Nisanyan
- Price: £11.99 Add to Basket
- A photograph, details and descriptions of some 185 small hotels. The guide is a little long in the tooth but it is testament to the integrity of the selection that we continue to recommend it; there are new places it does not cover, but those it does are all good and almost all still in business.
-

-
Imperial Istanbul by Jane Taylor
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Intelligent cultural guide that is much the best introduction for the serious sightseer. Elegantly descriptive and thorough - it covers Edirne, Bursa and Iznik as well - it is highly recommended.
-
Istanbul by Eyewitness Guides
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- These very popular guides, with their photos and excellent mapping, give a really good overview of the city which makes exploring easy. The drawback is that once having got you to a place the supplemental information is a bit limited. Usefully, it covers excursions outside Istanbul as far as Edirne and Bursa.
-
Istanbul by Time Out Guides
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- Listings based guide, i.e. all the restaurants are reviewed together rather than being arranged
by area,that excels in its practical information but is more limited as a sight-seeing companion.
-
Istanbul by Hedonist's Guides
- Price: £13.99 Add to Basket
- The best - hotels, restaurants, bars, clubs and shops - of Istanbul described and rated. The title is off-putting (to us) but within the limits it sets itself, this is a very good little guide.
-
Strolling through Istanbul by John Freely & Hilary Sumner-Boyd
- Price: £12.99 Add to Basket
- A lovely walking guide to the monuments and sites of Istanbul accompanied by stories and a history of the city. Perfect for the sightseer although should be bought alongside a practical guide and a decent map.
