Any OT'ers ever vacation in Turkey?

Me and the wifey would like to go there on vacation sometime in the near future (next 2-3 years).
Have any of y'all been there?
How was it?
Where did you go?
Would you bring children?
We are both closet archeologists so this feels as if it would be an awesome experience.
TIA

I haven't personally been but I have a few friends who have independently of each other and both raved about the experience.

I took a ferry from Rhodes to Marmaris. Taxi to Dalaman airport to Istanbul.
Istanbul was cool, but was only there on a long weekend. Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque are VERY COOL STORY BRO.
Didn't get to see the archaeological sites on the peninsula near Izmir and all that, but its a fascinating country.
They don't speak English very well like the Greeks, be prepared.
Would highly recommend going.

Father in law absolutely loves it. He is from Lebanon and has been there a few times.

I flew into the Dalaman airport at midnight and we had to wait for our shuttle to get there. When we realized it wasn't close to being there we were like what the hell have we gotten ourselves into?

Turkey is highly recommended. If you want something a little less greasy, Dubrovnik. Can't go wrong in Dalmatia

Did a 10 day study abroad there. It was surprisingly fun and food was amazing

Where were trying to get to? ETA: Fethiye, oh, oh my We didn't plan our trip very well either, literally the day before, so when we got off the boat in Marmaris, we had to pay some Marmaris only taxi to ditch work and drive us to the Dalaman airport. Middle of no where it seemed.

I think you are going to dig Turkey then.

I have been to the ruins of the ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey.
I recommend it.

I just went on a trip to Istanbul with my girlfriend during Christmas. We loved it! Very cool place. We got lucky with the weather..if you go, I recommend going during the summer. But it might be more crowded.

Wow. Nice place to go. Just googled the pics.

It was really cheap too. The hostel we stayed at was on top of one of those cliffs. You had to hike up and down each day to get to the waterfall/beach. It ended up being something like $17 a night which included breakfast/dinner. All the food came from right on their property and was all vegetarian. It was so good that it didn't even matter

Nice. My fiancee hasn't been and my experience was limited so this is in my rolodex now
