Comments on: Istanbul is the New Black http://marilyn.com.au/2006/04/istanbul-is-the-new-black/ Restaurant and food stories, gossip & recipes Sun, 23 Oct 2011 21:57:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chris http://marilyn.com.au/2006/04/istanbul-is-the-new-black/comment-page-1/#comment-27 Chris Wed, 24 May 2006 01:42:20 +0000 http://www.marilyn.com.au/?p=49#comment-27 I have been to Turkey twice now (one of those backpackers you referred to...) and have experienced the 'richness' of the country first hand. The poeple, food, colours, smells, religion, culture are diverse - the east meets west tag is a perfect fit... My only concern is the more people that visit this incredible place the more diluted the experience will become. The Turkish people are warm and inviting, they are also taking to the tourist dollar like a duck to water - every action has a reaction I suppose.
