Just got back. I have mixed feelings. There were some fabulous sights (especially Hagia Sofia), and the food was really good. On the negative side, we were scammed several times (once in a pretty scary way by a taxi driver), and people were constantly importuning us to shop for carpets and other stuff. The day we had a tour with a guide was excellent.

Thanks for all the tips.
