I'm starting a new job in Eskişehir, Turkey, next year. Because I'm going to be pretty flat out once I start working, I'm keen to spend a month beforehand travelling around central Europe and Turkey before I start my job.
Whereabouts in Turkey should I go? Is anything in Eastern Anatolia worth seeing?
I speak functional Turkish and should learn more before the end of the year.
Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus. From the top of my head. Just remember that Islam is a murderous idealogy, Mohammed is a false prophet and a pigfucker and President Erdohan is a flamboyant homosexual and you'll be fine.

The current environment is pretty tense in Turkey, I wouldn't recommend going anywhere in the east. You should definitely visit İstanbul and İzmir. Eskişehir is a nice city overall to live in, it's pretty cheap and is mostly secular.
