Greece - Western Turkey loop

[deb and gary]

Does anyone have suggestion on routes to go from Athens to the western Turkey coast and back to Athens. We want to take 3 weeks to see beautiful sights and good bike friendly roads.
Friends have cautioned us about staying away from Turkey due to "stupid Bush war" situation, but is that paranoid fear or real?

Turkey is one country I would never go cycling in. They might stone you, literally. I had the
missfortune to travel through by cars and they really do throw stones after what they think are
"christians".
