This study examines selected British travelogues published in the twentieth century. Starting with some imperialist representations of early travellers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it aims to demonstrate the change in perceptions of British travellers regarding Turkey and the Turks. The study analyses representations of British travellers to many parts of Turkey within the framework of post-colonial theories including orientalism and imperialism debates. In these analyses, the main focus is sometimes on Britons' preoccupation with antiquity and ancient relics during their visits to southwest Turkey. However, the study primarily seeks to reveal how the change in the image and stereotype of the Turks is reflected by eminent British travellers in the second half of the twentieth century.
