russianbandit49: yes going to Istanbul. the end of July. i never worry about Muslim country's.
Turkey is a secular state. It's mixed christian / muslim. Not a really valid selection i'd say. You're not worried about muslim countries so you'll be off to Iraq and Iran next year then????

I am sure you had a great time and were trated like a king, as long as you tipped them. Have you tried to see their reaction if you didn't? I experienced this everywhere.
