Turkey was the same. When I was with my male cousin the people were friendly but there were brief times when we went our separate ways for sightseeing purposes and the looks and comments I received from men were crude and rude. I didn't feel safe at all walking alone. People seem to think a woman walking alone had to be a product of the devil. Now it's true I've dated Satan in the past but we don't see each other anymore and I've returned his ring.

I often travel alone. I like the sense of adventure. Not knowing the language can be isolating, and people NEVER respond the way they do in the phrase book.
