I've also spent some time in Turkey and I'll also vouch for it's beauty, friendliness and quality of food. I was really taken aback by how much I loved it. It's also very rich in ancient history/historical sites. It's somewhere I'm seriously considering going after Korea.

Yeah, the Odyssey by Homer took place in Turkey when it was still part of the Greek Empire

I have always wanted to go and check out the ruins of Troy myself. Even if there isn't much left.

Also well worth a visit is Ephesus, there's a lot left of that although the best part has crumbled. The gospel of John was supposed to have been written there. The Temple of Apollo is cool too.

Agreed. If you end up going, please keep us posted. I just might follow your lead.

I'm planning to go there in mid-October (along with Istanbul and perhaps another place or two in Turkey).

cyui, You absolutely do not need to be a Muslim to enjoy Turkey. While it is majority Muslim, its a relatively secular country. I thought this was common knowledge? I've spent a good amount of time there and it's a fantastic place. I don't know anyone who has been to Istanbul who did not agree it was among the worlds truly great cities.
I can't comment on work in Turkey, but based on my experience it's something I would consider in the future.

cyui, please do not use apostrophes since you obviously do not know how to use them. Thank you.
