From our guide to Turkey
Zeytinbağı (the Olive Garden), an altogether delightful little hotel, is run in highly civilised and friendly manner by four urban refugees who clearly enjoy their work...

Turkey is always a surprise to the first-time visitor. Nearly everything you thought you knew about this vast and dynamic country turns out to be less than certain on closer inspection. The landscape is fantastically varied. The historic sites impress even the most un-historically minded. The people never cease to amaze by their spontaneous charm and innate generosity. Everywhere you meet people who are willing to bend rules, or risk their own comfort, just to please a visitor – though he or she might be a perfect stranger to them.
