Late 70s I watched a movie called Midnight Express. Never had any desire whatsoever to visit Turkey after that. The soundtrack was good though.

Yes, great movie that was on real events. Another one that is similar is Brokedown Palace. The concept of “Brokedown Palace” was based on a true story as well.

Fang was stationed in Turkey in the 1960’s in the U.S.A.F.
It was stressful. The imams blaring from loudspeakers six
times a day really got on his nerves (unlike Hussein Obama),
some of the food wasn’t what he was accustomed to eating
(didn’t care for mutton), was in an earthquake. He made the
best of it as he usually does.

He did have one month in Greece which he enjoyed back then.
Maybe not now, though.
