31. Whats the problem?
south israel   (02.04.09)
Even if the hotels in turkey offered free weekends or free weeks, i wouldnt go, there are so many countries in the world to visit, why are they making so much press about turkey. Who cares? All of a sudden they want the israeli tourists. Please israelis and jews, dont have short memories.
32. ISRAELI TOURISTS????? MAY G-D SAVED THE WORLD FROM THEM!
American ,   USA   (02.04.09)
It's been said many times by many people, Israeli tourists are not wanted anywhere in the world because of their rude and ugly behaviours. I guess Turkish hospitality has put up with your loud, rude, annoying behaviours far too long. Not to mention your stealing of towels, pillows from hotels and goods from airports. Behave yourselves Israelis. Both as tourists and as occupiers of Palestine. You can't occupy and go on bombing spree in Gaza!!! There is a price to pay and it is to be unwanted all around the world.
33. Barcelona is a friendly city
Josep ,   Barcelona, Spain   (02.05.09)
Fortunately Barcelona is a modern city with a lot of good places and catalans are pleasants, also you can go to the disco with kippa and everybody enjoys dancing too. Here live a lot of sefardies who can explain these.
34. Alternatives tu Turkey
Sandor ,   Stockholm,Sweden   (02.05.09)
Do not go to Budapest! The hungarians are a lot more antisemitic and anti israeli than the turks. I know beacouse I was born there and I can hear and read how they are talking about the jews.Do not give them any money...
35. #32 Bet you don't know any Israelis
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.06.09)
If you did, you would know how great they are. Your lies about stealing towels and pillows is pathetic. That's probably true confessions and a warm recollection of your own travels. Now go crawl back under your rock.
36. #26 and #32
meg ,   Israel   (02.06.09)
#26, who the hell would want to go to Finland anyway??? and when you feel like a "sunny" vacation, please anywhere but Israel! we certainly dont need you. #32 are you remenising your own vacations here? but if you are american, then guess you know what LOUD is!
37. Israeli Tourism response to #35
Dennis ,   Phila., PA USA   (02.08.09)
There indeed are lovely Israeli tourists, the majority, in my memory, are loud, obnoxious, etc. I spent 10 years as an executive at a resort Hotel in Israel. Of course, Ithat was in their country. Ba-Ch"ul,I hope they are more behaved, but....Im not hopeful...In any event, Turkey s/b outside of the Pale (chutz la tchum)

39. All Class Hotels
allharun ,   london, uk   (10.26.09)
ALL cLass Hotels, We were greeted by a friendly receptionist who made sure the room was in the right location for our needs. The room was, as always, very clean and tidy www.allclasshotels.com the bed comfortable and all you would need for an overnight stay. We enjoyed a nice breakfast and all in all a nice experience. We will always return to this hotel when in the area.
40. Private tours
pirharun ,   istanbul, turkey   (09.29.11)
If you visit Istanbul, i higly recommend you to take a Princes’ Island (callad also Buyuk Ada) tour. I pumped into this tour on Istanbul Daily City Tours on the internet. It was a regular tour. I was picked up from the hotel and cruised Marmara sea to Princes Island. If you like birds you can also feed seagulls with simit, a type of crisp, while crossing to the island. It may be really enjoyable. After we landed our guide gave a brief explanation and history of this lovely island then we had a horsedrawn carriage tour among pine trees www.privatetoursinistanbul.com This tour was totally awesome. You can take lots of beatiful scenery photos while taking deep breath and relaxing. (The hauses are gorgeus). Or you can sometimes close your eyes and listen the sound of the nails of horses and enjoy this peaceful time. We visited Aya Yorgi Church and Monestry. It is a very old building and has been located on this island for centuries. It is up on a hill where we had to walk unhill 15-20 minutes, but was fine for us. After the end of this relaxing tour we had a delicious meal at a fish restaurant. If you visit Princes’ Island you should really taste one of the fish meals. We had the opportunity to swim but i prefered to walk along the shores until time of return came. I want also mention that you can hire bicycle unless you want to walk or to go with a horsedrawn carriage. I returned to my hotel on time after this exciting and relaxing Princes’ Island tour. This lovely island should be on your list if you visit Istanbul. Thank you very much to this commpany for such a relaxing tour.
