Mos shko te restorantet në Sheshin Sultanahmet, ec dy blloqe jashtë zonës turistike për ushqim autentik dhe me gjysmën e çmimit. Pyet vendasit për rekomandime.
Translated from English ·
Qytetet bregdetare janë të bukura, por korriku dukej si një festival çdo ditë. Plazhet të mbushura, çmimet në rritje, dhe gjumi i zhurmshëm. Shko në sezonin e mesëm.

Bleni një Istanbulkart në aeroport, e karikueshme dhe shumë më e lirë se biletat e vetme. Tragetet shmangin trafikun në orën e pikut dhe ofrojnë pamje të shkëlqyera.
Translated from English ·
Lindja me balonë në Kapadokia është e pabesueshme, por Turqia më befasoi: ushqim fantastik, pazare kaotike, njerëz miqësorë. Dhjetë ditë ishin të mjaftueshme.
Translated from English ·
Më pëlqyen kebabët dhe çaji, por Stambolli mund të jetë i mbingarkuar me turma dhe netë të zhurmshme. Taksitë herë pas here tentojnë të ngarkojnë më shumë, prandaj bëni pazar.
