Top 10 Tips for Your First Visit to Turkey

March 17, 2021

1. Get a Turkey Visa

Most tourists would require turkey visa to reach for their tour. There are also a few online application forms of visas, and specific costs to pay online and get your turkey e visa online. You need to submit confirmed travel and hotel arrangements, as well as sufficient funds ($ 50) in your bank accounts to apply for the visa. You could just use a full-fledged delivery service such as Turkish Airlines to make completely refundable flight reservations, and any hotel booking website to make fully refundable hotel reservations so as not to change the visa falling through.

2. Choose your hotels wisely

When you are on a holiday trip, you may be tempted to blow the expenses on multiple occasions, but don’t ever cave in. That does not mean you need to give up on your accommodation level or venue. Istanbul has a whole range of low-cost hotels and condos to choose from. Best still, apartments are a perfect way of feeling like a local and becoming familiar with living in a suburban society.

Apartments can be tough to track down outside Istanbul but there are plenty of incomes (pensions or B&B). These are delightful houses turned into bed and breakfasts, having a small owner’s personalized experience, and a truly good value for money.

3. Pick up some Turkish words

Even inside Istanbul, finding an English narrator is not easy. In reality, walk into a bookshop and you probably will not find any English books. Luckily, the Turkish writing is identical to English and makes it easier to read street signs. If you need to travel across, buy food, take the subway, or just have a friendly chat with a local, study a few Turkish words.

4. Pack like you would pack for Western Europe

Turkey is one of West Asia’s very liberal countries, which means that though you often see Burkha-clad persons walking along the sand, you do see plenty of skilfully dressed people wanting to dress in Western-style evening gowns. Turkey offers you the right to dress up however you want, at this intersection where the east meets the west. As always, if you are planning to go around a lot, travel light and pick a shoulder bag over a large luggage.

5. Quote a cost and stick to it

Traveling within Turkey could be more as expensive as a visit to the Euro, except if you enforce yourself a spending plan. As a rule, paying (and being charged) in Turkish Liras is lower in amount than in Euros, and negotiating is hardly exceptional. Mind that you do not have to head out there and see any tourist place just because everyone else does.

6. Enjoy in Turkish vegetarian food

Vegetarians can expect a hard time in a country that values its kebab and doner just as much as Turkey. To say the facts, the Turkish tend to garnish meat also their vegetarian foods, and the thought of vegetarianism is so foreign that if you ask about vegetarian food in a cafe, you’ll probably always get salad or soup.

7. Use public Transport around Turkey

Transportation is quite effective in Istanbul, and all rides by tram, bus or metro are priced at 2 TL, regardless of the distance you ‘re going. Cabs are easily available after nightfall as public transport stops running and late-night rates are not required to pay. The most practical solution is to turn up at the bus station and buy tickets to your tourist places and back all the way.

10. See Turkey beyond Istanbul

The Turkish landscape along the Black Sea coast is as impressive, if not better, than Europe’s alpine landscape, which combines the picturesque beauty of European towns with a touch of Asia and the Arabian peninsula.
