No blog on travel to Turkey worth its salt would failt to mention Midnight Express and the effect this film has had on peoples view on Turkey.People forget that although based on a true story much of what was documented in the film never actually happened. To find out the real story from the horses mouth see this video at youtube.

The film gives the impression that the turks are a cruel and brutal race when in fact this could not be further from the truth. Yes expect to receive a prison term which might not be very nice if you are a drug smuggler but and ordinary visitor will be hard pushed to find a more friendly or beautiful place.
