In August it can really get HOT and MUGGY. There are however some really
nice beaches in Turkey. Make sure you have AC at the place you are going to
stay. The prices in Turkey are fantastic - beer goes for around 1
dollar/Euro out at the bar, and at the supermarket - well everything there
is dirt cheap. Quality clothing and gold is also very very inexpensive. The
food is excellent, and inexpensive. Carpets - my God, buy, buy, BUY!

Here are some Turkey pictures:

Have fun,
Jon

Go, if you want to be turned into shish kebab.
I also hear that Turks love young buns, you might want to consider putting a chastity
belt.

Travel Warning & Consular Information Sheet

SAFETY AND SECURITY: The general security situation throughout Turkey is unstable, but
sporadic incidents involving terrorist groups have occurred. Since the 1970's, urban and
rural acts of terrorism throughout Turkey have caused loss of life and injury to
government officials and civilians, including some foreign tourists. These incidents
occurred both in eastern Turkey and in urban areas such as Ankara, Izmir, Adana, and
Istanbul. In the past year, Turkish police and military authorities have conducted very
successful operations against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey
and various leftist and fundamentalalist groups throughout Turkey. While these groups
have not been eliminated altogether, their operational capabilities have greatly
diminished. Although sporadic incidents involving terrorist groups continue to occur,
the general security situation throughout Turkey is stable at this time.

Eastern provinces: The PKK remains a residual presence in certain parts of southeastern
Turkey. The following provinces are under a state of emergency: Hakkari, Sirnak,
Tunceli, and Diyarbakir. The following additional areas are considered "sensitive areas"
or one level below state-of-emergency status: Van, Sirt, Mus, Mardin, Batman, Bingol,
and Bitlis. The provinces in Adana, Adiyaman, Antakya (Hatay), Elazig, Gaziantep,
Kahraman Maras, Kilis, Malatya, Icel, Osmaniye and Sanliufra are not under a heightened
state of alert. Mount Ararat is a special military zone and access permission must be
obtained from the Turkish Government.

Visitors to any part of souteastern Turkey are advised to travel only during daylight
hours and on major highways. The Turkish Jandarma and police forces monitor checkpoints
on roads throughout the southeastern region. Drivers and all passengers in the vehicle
should be prepared to provide identification if stopped at a checkpoint. Travelers are
cautioned not to accept letters, parcels or other items from strangers for delivery
either in or outside of Turkey. The PKK has attempted to use foreigners to deliver
messages and packages in or outside of Turkey. If discovered, individuals could be
arrested for aiding and abetting the PKK - a serious charge.

The Turkish Government takes air safety very seriously, and maintains strict controls,
particularly on international flights. Nevertheless, Turkey has experienced recent
hijackings. Unstable individuals who each falsely claimed to have a bomb or weapon
hijacked domestic Turkish Airlines (THY) flights in February and September 1998. Both
incidents were successfully resolved without injury. Neither represented a breach of
airport security. A THY flight was hijacked in October 1998. Turkish authorities
successfully ended the hijacking with no injury to passengers or crew.

A "Southeastern Turkey Briefing" is available on the Embassy Ankara website under
"Security Matters" at http://www.usemb-ankara.org.tr.

CRIME: Street crime is not a major concern in Turkey. However, as in other large
metropolitan areas throughout the world, there is some crime against tourists,
particularly in Istanbul, including pickpocketing, purse snatching and mugging. In the
past three years, dozens of American, Canadian and European tourists were robbed by
English-or French-speaking foreigners, who identified themselves as Tunisian, Moroccan,
Kuwaiti, or Romanian. These persons befriended the tourists and then drugged them using
teas, juice, alcohol, or food. We have been informed that the two most common drugs are
nembitol, known on the street as sari bombasi (the yellow bomb) and benzodiazepine. In
one case an American died from the effects of the drug that had been intended to put him
to sleep.

The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately to the local
police and the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. U.S. citizens may refer to the
Department of State's pamphlet, A Safe Trip Abroad, for ways to promote a trouble-free
journey. The pamphlet is available by mail from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402, via the Internet at
http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs, or via the Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at
http://travel.state.gov. An "Istanbul Street Crime Briefing" is available on the U.S.
Embassy Ankara's web site at http://www.usemb-ankara.org.tr or from the Consular Affairs
website at http://travel.state.gov/turkey.html.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS: Several major earthquake fault lines cross Turkey. A number of
Turkish cities including Istanbul, Izmir, and Erzincan lie on or near fault lines,
making these areas particularly vulnerable to earthquakes. General information about
natural disaster preparedness is available via the Internet from the U.S. Federal
Management Agency (FEMA) at http://www.fema.gov. Detailed information on Turkey's
earthquake fault lines is available from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at
http://www.usgs.gov.

TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may
encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The
information below concerning Turkey is provided for general reference only, and may not
be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.

Safety of Public Transportation: Poor
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Poor
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Poor
Availability of Roadside Assistance: None

Roads in Turkey run the full spectrum from single lane country roads with donkeys to two
lane divided highways with yet more donkeys. Highways in the southwestern, coastal
portion of the country, which is frequented by tourists, are generally in poor
condition. Further information is available on the Embassy's website, under "driver
safety." For additional information about road safety, see the Department of State,
Bureau of Consular Affairs home page road safety overseas feature at
http://travel.state.gov/road_safety.html or the Turkey Road Report on
http://www.asirt.org/.
For specific information concerning Turkish driving permits, vehicle inspection, road
tax and mandatory insurance, contact the Turkish Tourism and Information Office in New
York via the Internet at http://www.turkey.org/Turkey, or by writing to 821 United
Nations Plaza, New York, NY 10017, telephone (212) 687-2194, 687-2195, fax (212) 599-
7568.

CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that
country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the
United States and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S.
law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the United States for
similar offenses. Persons violating Turkey's laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled,
arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs
in Turkey are strict and convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines.
Sentences range from 4 to 24 years.

Below are some of the laws foreign travelers should be aware of:

--Insulting the State: It is illegal to show disrespect to the name or image of Mustafa
Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the modern Turkish Republic, or to insult the Turkish
government, flag, or security forces.

--Proselytizing: Although there is no specific law against Christian proselytizing, some
activities can lead to arrest under laws that regulate expression, educational
institutions, and religious meetings. The Department of State's Annual Report on
International Religious Freedom contains additional information on religious freedom in
Turkey. The report is available on the Department's website, http://www.state.gov/.

--Cultural Artifacts: Turkish law has a broad definition of "antiquities" and makes it a
crime to remove any from the country. Offenders are prosecuted. Under Turkish law, all
historic sites such as fortresses, castles and Hellenistic / Roman ruins, and everything
in them or on the grounds or in the water, is the property of the Turkish government.
While many sites do not have signs cautioning the unwary, official silence does not mean
official consent. One may buy certain antiquities, but only from authorized dealers who
have been issued a certificate by a museum for each item they are authorized to sell,
such as Lord Elgin. If one has acquired a possible antiquity without having obtained the
necessary certificate, competent museum personnel should evaluate it before its removal
from Turkey.

Turk arrested for alleged rape of German boy

http://www.hri.org/news/greek/apeen/...1_1.apeen.html

A Turkish truck driver was remanded in custody on Monday charged with
raping
a 14-year-old German boy on a ferry en route from the Italian port of
Ancona
to the western Greek port of Patras, police said.
Yildiz Aygun, 33, was arrested on board the "Superfast 4" ferry early on
Sunday after the boy, identified only as H.A., told ship's officers of
the
incident.

The boy said Aygun had dragged him into his cabin and, with the threat
of
physical violence, forced him to perform "indecent acts" and then
sodomised
him repeatedly over a period of three hours.

The boy managed to escape from the cabin when Aygun fell asleep and he
returned to his parents, who went to the ferry's bridge together with
the
boy and informed the officers on duty of the incident.

The ferry's captain was immediately alerted, and the captain, with a
group
of ship's officers, isolated Aygun in his cabin and turned him over to
port
authorities when the ferry docked in Patras.

The boy, who was travelling from Ancona to Patras with his parents for a
holiday, was examined by a doctor, who confirmed he had been sodomised.

Aygun, who claims he does not remember anything because he was drunk,
was
taken before the Patras public prosecutor today and charged with raping
a
minor.

Aygun was remanded in custody and given to Wednesday to prepare his
defence
before the examining magistrate.

hey pyrsos27 aka taksidiotis aka voyager aka costas the sissy aka
Panathinaikos aka.... (the list goes on),
