Ankara is one of cities I like very much in Turkey. I spent my childhood there. I love this city. It is also the capital city of Turkiye (Turkey) Ankara is located at the center of Anatolia on the eastern edge of the great, high Anatolian Plateau. It is bordered by the cities of Cankiri and Bolu to the north, Eskisehir to the west, Konya and Aksaray to the south, and Kirikkale and Kirsehir to the east. The region's history goes back to the Bronze Age, Hatti Civilization. You can reach Ankara easily. Most countries have direct flights to Esenboga Airport in Ankara; also there are regular flights to the major cities of Turkey from Esenboga. Additionally, I can say that Ankara is the centre of Turkey's very extensive coach network; it is possible for you to travel to city to most Turkish cities, and also many major European cities. You can also use Turkish railways to reach a number of cities. In Ankara, the summers are long and very hot. Nights are generally cool in Ankara in the summer time. Humidity level is very low. The winters are pretty cold with some rain and snow. When travelling, you should bear these factors in your mind.

Sorry I couldn't give you a vh rating, but you didn't really give me any more info than I could have got from a guide book. A bit more personal insight would have been useful. Thanks Ali.

A decent enough op, I'll change my rating to VH if you add more detail about things such as food, shopping, nightlife, and perhaps more detail about what can be seen in the museums. Thanks - Scatz ;o)
