Hi santasz;
I noticed that while providing wonderful advice for those who are willing to take a trip to Romania (like myself), you are also taking a trip towards Turkey.
Just about accomodation in Turkey I will gladly use your words for Romania...
"Hi!
There are some campings but I think you can forget the european quality campings.
You can bush camp. Although it is illegal, no one will disturb you, if you camp on the mountains or anywhere not close to roads (maybe a bear, some shepherd dogs or some courious locals).
The hotels generally are cheap if you want a decent one and not luxury (25-30 euro with breakfast). I'm sure that anywhere you'll be able to find secure hotel parking place. Generally they haven't garage but their own yards and they close the gate for night. If no, try to find another, or ask for security. Do not let your bike on the street for overnight in big cities ... (why to visit it?) ... Try to find no Hotel but pension. Theese are generally more cheaper than hotels.
I think there are no real security problems!
Best regards,
Szabi" (See Romania in Europe section)

Hi Cozcan! :-)
Can you (or anybody) recomend me some cheap and biker friendly hotel at Istambul, as near the Blue Mosque as possible?
Thx.
Szabi

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
