Good bike mechanics Turkey, Bulgaria or Greece

[hewittj]

Hi there

We are currently touring across Europe and plan to spend the winter in either Greece, Turkey or Bulgaria (I know a huge area). Our bikes will be needing some care from a good quality bike mechanic before we continue east in 2011.

I wondered if anybody had any experience of quality bike mechanics in any of these countries?


Cheers

Hi there

Thanks to everybody for their replies on this post and to round this thread off I thought I would update where I got to with locating bike mechanics in Turkey. Although I kept an eye out for bike stores in Bulgaria I didnt really see anything outside recreational cycling stores. In Turkey we have settled in Istanbul for the winter and after visiting a few of the bike stores here during September 2010 I put together this blog post about them. Hopefully it will be of use or interest to other people looking for bike related parts or servicing in Istanbul.
