Summary: Michelin NEOS Guide Turkey
Comment: Just got back and found the book to be wonderful. Its description of the sites visited, its rankings and general information on Turkey history, culture and places was indespensable. Wouldn't go without it. It is on of the best I have seen.

Summary: It's a turkey
Comment: I'm a great fan of Michelin guide books and of Turkey. So I bought this one anticipating the usual thorough coverage of sites, restaurants, & hotels. I generally agree with their ratings of the sites they include, & like their descriptions. But whatever happened to eastern & southeastern Turkey? Yes, the Kurds have made some of these areas inhospitable, but Urfa, Gaziantep, Diyarbakir, Lake Van, among others, aren't even mentioned!
Then there's the coverage of hotels & restaurants. This is a fine book for backpackers, but what about the fine hotels & cuisine in Turkey? Not a mention of the Ciragan Palace in Istanbul, the Kismet in Kusadasi, the Dedeman in Nevsehir and Antalya, etc. If you want to travel upscale, try Frommers or the Blue Guide.

Summary: Disappointed with NEOS Guide
Comment: After perusing several guides to Turkey, I purchased this one b/c the old dependables (Lonely Planet/Rough Guide) were a bit whiny and I wanted a change. After getting to Turkey last October, I wished I had taken a Lonely Planet/Rough Guide, or even Let's Go. The Neos is particularly bad when it comes to travel logistics, especially if you're planning to "rough it" and take public transport. Luckily, every other independent traveller had a copy of one of the above to help us make our way through Turkey. My friend and I traveled with 2 other guidebooks. Surprisingly, the Cadogan was much better for historical information/background than the Michelin one. Hands down, the guidebooks by the French publisher Routard are the BEST! Their city guide for Istanbul was wonderful. Don't buy the NEOS if you plan to travel around with a backpack. I left mine in Turkey, it wasn't worth the weight home.
