I'm sure Europe's sprawl has made a lot of difference, and I'd like to go back one day, but I fear it might seem more like here than there. In 1990 it was hard even getting to the coast, and now that's the main reason for visiting. Thanks Ed and FB - I remember a sandwich costing something like 3,500 lira.

I went to Turkey a couple of months ago and things would appear to have changed in that respect. Although I was travelling for work and by plane, so you never know. Currency-wise I still had trouble spending any (new) Lira, they mostly wanted Euros. Certainly in and around the hotel. It seemed ironic at a time when Turkey's place (or not) in Europe was (is) being debated furiously, that they seem to have embraced its currency anyway. Goodness me!
