When we first set up this trip, people looked at us funny and worried aloud if we would be safe in Turkey, and why would we go there? But we also got worried looks about going to Greece (the economic crisis was at a peak, and we came into Athens the day after the election for the new austerity government; prime time for a protest). There were concerns about our safety in Albania (where is Albania anyway?), and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
We had almost two weeks in Turkey; I would return today for two months if I could.
