Turkey uses the Turkish Lira ₺ as their currency (Check out xe.com for the most up-to-date currency conversion–they have a mobile app too!)
The entire country of Turkey, as big as it is and the fact that it spans Europe and Asia, falls within the time zone of GMT +3.
If visiting Turkey simply for tourism purposes, you will be permitted to stay for up to 90 days but you will need to acquire a visa. Acquiring a tourism e-visa for Turkey is quick, easy, and will only cost you about $20–just follow the simple instruction on this page.
Additionally, your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from the date you enter Turkey.
Turkish is the main language spoken in Turkey.
When you decide where in Turkey you’ll be visiting, I recommend reading hotel reviews on Tripadvisor, then booking your room through Booking.com (my favorite booking site).
And don’t forget, there’s always vacation rentals. Check out some of Turkey’s vacation rentals here!
In Istanbul: Hotel Momento Golden Horn – Read my review in the blog posts below.
For your trip to Turkey, you’ll want to pack the following:
– Turkey guidebook: I prefer Rough Guides, but you can also find one from Rick Steves and Lonely Planet. And Culture Smart! Turkey is a great little culture-centered guidebook.
– Travel insurance. Unfortunately, things can and do go wrong when you travel. World Nomads offers coverage for more than 150 activities as well as emergency medical, lost luggage, trip cancellation and more.
Below you’ll find all the articles on Turkey that I’ve written so far.
Thanks for Visiting!
