One more thing to mention - a friend of mine (freelance journalist) has recently (14th December) been to the Cilvegozu/Bab al Hawa border crossing (main road between Antakya and Aleppo) and was not allowed to cross by the Turks. So right now it seems the Turkey-Syria border remains closed for private travellers (except Syrians), as it has been for many years. Let's hope it opens soon.
