Je rentre juste d'Istanbul. Ton site est super sympa. Pas assez de photos pourtant à mon gout ...
Je n'ai qu'une envie, c'est de retourner à Istanbul et dans le reste de la Turquie parce que je n'ai pu y passer que 3 jours.
Les pages Istanbul Insolite sont géniales.

PS : j'ai trouvé que les Turcs en général étaient tops. Encore un avantage du séjour...

Hi Nurdogan!

You're so famous that lots of people can't forget you.
I'd like to speak about Turkish inmigrants in Europe.
Can we succeed in introducing our culture to others?

I hope there will be lots of people who will deal with this issue?
I must leave you so see you soon,goodbye!

Je suis sur ton site. Il est superbement bien fait et nous offre un périple digne de son super guide! En ce samedi matin de Montréal, je n'aurais pas cru faire un voyage en Turquie ! Comme si j'y étais. Il n'y manque que les odeurs, et encore là, on a presque l'impression qu'elles nous parviennent à travers l'écran. En tout cas, donne envie de prendre l'avion ! Ah! les DEJEUNER SUR L'HERBE A ADAMPOL, sans oublier DEGUSTATION DE VIN AU MONASTERE ST-GEORGES !! ahhh! retenez-moi!! La photo de la "Mosquée bleue" est féérique ! Je te remercie pour ce magnifique tour que tu offres par ton site.

Nurdogan hi!
A brief but sincere note of thanks for your hospitality to the Art Students from Australia
I know that many of them felt that visiting you, Sergie and Milec was a highlight for them in Istanbul.
The standard of work Sergie and Milic produce is very high indeed and many of my students are proud to have been
able to bring some of their work back to Australia.
I would like to also thank you Nurdogan for your help while in Istanbul, particularly for your help in getting to the
Dervish Ceremony, an experience my wife and I will never forget.
Congratulations on the Web Pages the are well produced and informative.
Intend to visit them often and will recommend everyone to do the same.

Nurdogan - The web site is shaping up nicely. Agree that background music would add some "intrigue" to the beautiful pictures ! I also agree with making the left hand column narrowed to allow more viewing space for your main text/photos. Bright contrasting colors and/or animation/video would be a nice addition. As you know we will meet soon and looking forward to it. If this page is any indication of what's to be seen...I can hardly wait! J.

Hi...
Just wanted to let everyone know that I first met Nurdogan on the internet. He was very helpful in responding to my questions about Istanbul and Turkey in general. I visited Turkey in October '98 and met up with Nurdogan. He is a great guy!!! He owns a lovely carpet shop that's perfect for browsing through and sells a variety of terrific souvenirs. He also introduced me to the Whirling Dervishes and brought me and a couple of others to a Whirling Dervishes Ceremony. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it! You should also visit Nurdogan's art gallery, which is just around the corner from his carpet shop. His gallery promotes the beautiful artwork, hand paintings by various talented artists. All for very reasonable prices. Turkey is quite safe for women, esp. Istanbul. I always travel alone, and I've never felt any danger in Istanbul. If you want to read up on women & safety in Turkey, Lonely Planet's guide to Turkey can also be very informative. For more information about Istanbul or Turkey in general, you can contact him at http://www.lesartsturcs.com

Thanks for your invitation. Your site is very interesting, and I'm afraid you can improve it: it'd be important to have all the texts in English too; the photos are very good (to speed up the loading you could use HEIGHT and WIDTH in HTML code); the frame on the left (menu) could be narrower to leave more space for the right one and improve the presentation of your pictures. I'll be waiting for the carpets and kilims galleries. Keep up the good work. Regards from nelson

Istanbul est une ville chargée d'histoire où il fait bon découvrir Sainte Sophie, la mosquée de Soliman le Magnifique, le café de Pierre Loti, sans oublier le bazaar Egyptien. Terminer son séjour en passant chez Nurdogan pour emporter un souvenir et garder avec soi un peu d'Istanbul ! N'est-ce pas un beau programme...
J'invite tous les internautes à aller à Istanbul une fois dans leur vie !

This is my third visit to Istanbul and my third visit to Nurodogan's shop and I find the city and him friendly and wonderful. Being a single woman alone in Istanbul and have had no problems at all. Please feel free to contact me or Nurdogan with any questions about going solo in Turkey!!!
