Besides the places and things to see and do, the guide includes tips on where to stay, where to eat, and what to eat to take advantage of the varied cuisine of this large and gastronomically varied land.

As former Lonely Planet Turkey co-author Pat Yale puts it, "They know the Turkish poets, novelists and film-makers who have left their mark on the different localities; they know the local dishes that can add spice to a visit; they know the anecdotes that bring a smile to the lips of the reader. In short, they get under the skin of Turkey in a way that is hard for even the most experienced foreign guidebook writer."
