I have visited Turkey in the past briefly, and it was nice, though I did not notice any special hospitality not encountered in other places. Maybe I just wasn't lucky.

Unfortunately, since I'm Jewish I'm not sure it would be wise for me to visit Turkey again now, due to recent developments... it seems like the hospitality for me might be a bit limited now. http://www.radikal.com.tr/Radikal.aspx?aType=RadikalDetayV3&... http://jcpa.org/article/present-day-anti-semitism-in-turkey/

Maybe sometime in the future... Sorry for getting a bit off-topic here.

Off topic indeed, but this year's Eurovision singer from Turkey was Jewish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_Bonomo). Not to say there isn't anti-semitism, but I think it is much less in Turkey than you might think.
