Melissa Shales continues her blitz on Turkey with the publication in March 2009 of this brand new Berlitz pocket guide to the Turkish Coast, joining the existing guides to Turkey and Istanbul.

Part of the world's best-selling series of pocket guides, it needs no introduction. The book doesn't cover the whole coast. "We decided that would be utterly impossible - it's 7,200 km (4,474 miles) long," Melissa explained. "As it is, we have achieved the nearly impossible, cramming in nearly two-thirds of its length, from Gallipoli in the northeastern corner of the Aegaean down to Alanya on the Mediterranean coast, including all the main places people actually want to visit and still managing to make it interesting, fun to read and useful. And all for £4.99. A bargain!"
