Thanks Pegs and worldinabag!! You should go to Nemrut, it's beautiful..and May is the best time.

What a great trip report. You mentioned that you've used your Canon 1100D for taking pictures. Did you use only one lens (stock) or did you have different lenses that you've used for different scenery and lighting conditions?

I've used only the 18-55 mm lens..it worked for most situations, but I guess it's time I begin experimenting something new. Lighting conditions were more or less perfect throughout my trip, each day was sunny, evenings always had magical lights. Now I've recently been to Europe, and I realize how great the lighting conditions in Turkey were.

Terrific report and pics - made me nostalgic for Turkey and
being 23!

Great trip report. Looking forward to our trip next April. Great info.
Thanks for your time.

Thanks immimi and robrick!!

Hi Ashwin,
Thanks for a really good travel report. I am considering a trip to Turkey in November and was wondering if I could contact you either by email or phone or even meet, as I live in Pune too. Need some advice on how to plan this trip and mainly to determine if I can do this on my own or whether I need to go with an agency. I will be traveling solo, on a budget, interested in photography, and am 53! My email ad is [email protected]. Thank you.

Thanks wanderlust36, will get in touch with you.

Great TR Ashwin, we too are just back from Turkey and can instantly relate to many of the places you visited. Capadoccia is on our agenda for next year...

Thanks geetika!! Do go to Cappadocia,and stay for a long time,especially around Ihlara Valley. The Star Wars place is amazing.
