Hi guys,
I've got a schengen visa for 1 month and with a "single entry" not a multiple on.Does it mean that I can only enter ,say,Germany once and leave there or I can go as follows:Germany-Italy-France-Germany etc. If any of you guys know anything and share it,I'd appreciate that. |

| In a more clear way,does the single entry thing refer to the Schengen zone or the specific country? |

I would say that once you enter the Schengen zone, you can go anywhere.

i assume multiple entry would allow you to go back and forth to Turkey. |

I'm continuing finding contradictory information on net.Funny thing is,there is no info on Schengen's offical website at all,instead,they are selling a book which costs 39.99 euros. |

Erm, it is not as reliable a source as an embassy but Wikipedia says this: "Visas can also be single-entry, which means the visa is cancelled as soon as the holder leaves the country, double-entry, or multiple-entry, permitting multiple entries into the country with the same visa."
So this would mean that once you're out of Germany, you can't get back in with the same visa. Or at least that's how i understand it. |

but I didn't get a German visa,it is a Schengen one.so,what i'm trying to understand is if they refer to Schengen zone or not. |

Yes, a Schengen visa refers to the Schengen zone.
From http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/Infoservice/FAQ/VisumFuerD/15-Schengenstaaten.html
"Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden have acceded to the Schengen Agreement and are thus Schengen states.
/.../ Holders of valid Schengen visas (text on the visa reads "valid for Schengen states" in the respective language of the issuing country) or a residence permit of a member state can stay in the entire Schengen area for up to three months per half year (usually without having to go through passport control at internal borders)."
