Jessica LeeAnkara & Central Anatolia, Cappadocia After four years leading adventure tours across Turkey, Jessica moved there to live in 2011 and Turkey has been home ever since. This is the third edition of the Turkey guide she has worked on and for this edition she made a welcome return to central Anatolia’s creaky Ottoman back streets and pulled on her hiking boots to trek the Ala Dağlar. She also wrote the Turkey’s Outdoors chapter and the Understand features

covering Architecture, Arts, People and Environment. Read more about Jess at: https://auth.lonelyplanet.com/profiles/jessicalee1.

Virginia Maxwellİstanbul (Bazaar District, Beyoğlu, Kadıköy and Ferry Trips), İzmir & the North Aegean Although based in Australia, Virginia spends part of each year in Turkey. As well as authoring LP’s İstanbul city guide, she also writes Lonely Planet’s Pocket İstanbul.

Hugh McNaughtanBlack Sea Coast, Eastern Mediterranean A former English lecturer, Hugh swapped grant applications for visa applications, and turned his love of travel into a full-time thing. Having done a bit of restaurant-reviewing in his home town (Melbourne) he jumped at the opportunity to eat his way around the Black Sea Coast and Eastern Mediterranean. He’s never happier than when on the road with his two daughters. Except perhaps on the cricket field…

John NobleEastern Anatolia John has been travelling since his teens and doing so as a Lonely Planet writer since the 1980s. The number of LP titles he’s written or co-written is well into three figures, covering a somewhat random se-lection of countries scattered across the globe, predominantly ones where Spanish, Russian or English are spoken (usually alongside numerous local languages). He still gets as excited as ever about heading out on the road to

unfamiliar experiences, people and destinations, especially remote, off-the-beaten-track ones. Above all, he loves mountains, from the English Lake District to the Himalaya. See his pics on Instagram: @johnnoble11.

OUR STORYA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.

Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Dublin, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.

He has been working on Lonely Planet projects for over a decade, including coordinating five editions of Turkey and writing the first edition of Discover Turkey.

Brett AtkinsonThrace & Marmara, Western Anatolia Since first visiting Turkey in 1985, Brett has returned regularly to one of his favourite countries. For his fifth Lonely Planet trip to Turkey he explored the astounding Ottoman architecture of Bursa and Edirne, the poignant Anzac history of the Gallipoli Peninsula, and surprising destinations including laidback Gökçeada and cosmopolitan Eskişehir. Brett’s contributed to Lonely Planet guidebooks spanning Europe,

Asia and the Pacific, and covered over 50 countries as a food and travel writer. See www.brett-atkinson.net for his latest adventures.

Steve FallonEphesus, Bodrum & the South Aegean With a house in Kalkan on the Turquoise Coast of the Mediterranean, Steve considers Turkey to be a second home. This assignment took him to that other coast, the South Aegean one, where he stepped back in time at Ephesus, joined a sailing regatta off Bodrum and re- discovered the beauty of the Datça and Bozburun Peninsulas. OK, Türkçe’yi hala mağara adamı gibi konuşuyor (he still speaks Turkish like a caveman), but no

Turk has called him Tarzan. At least not yet. Find Steve at www.steveslondon.com.
