Turkey

Operator Viaggi dell'Airone, an excellent hotel in Antalya (Crowne Plaza), the others modest even though they boast 4 stars. Enchanting places like Pamukkale and the Fairy Chimneys in Cappadocia, on foot and by hot-air balloon at dawn. Ankara not very interesting. Istanbul wonderful. A modest budget even though many excursions are paid separately, as are drinks.
