What you’ll find here
Timely news: short reports on elections, government moves, and foreign policy that matter to readers outside Turkey. We explain why a policy change in Ankara can affect markets or travel plans.
Travel tips: best times to visit Istanbul, Cappadocia, or the Aegean coast, how to beat crowds, and where to find authentic food without the tourist markup. We cover visas, local transit basics, and safety notes so you can plan smarter.
Culture and everyday life: articles on food, festivals, fashion, and social trends. Want to know how Turkish coffee culture shapes weekends or what’s trending in street food? That’s here too.
Practical advice for readers
Planning a trip? Carry some cash in Turkish lira for small shops and markets, but most places accept cards. Istanbul’s public transport is easy once you learn the card system; use ferries to see the city from the water. For smaller towns, check schedules ahead — buses and regional flights fill up during holiday weeks.
Following the news? Political events and economic moves can affect prices and travel rules quickly. We flag major changes and explain what they mean for travelers, businesses, and the wider region.
Food lovers, don’t miss street specialties: simit for breakfast, gözleme for a quick meal, and regional kebabs that vary by city. If you want modern cuisine, look for chefs blending local ingredients with new techniques. We point out standout places across price ranges.
Business and economy: Turkey has a big export sector, a strong tourism industry, and a lively startup scene. We break down headlines about inflation, currency shifts, and trade deals into plain language so you can see the likely effects on prices and investment opportunities.
Cultural sensitivity matters. Turkey is diverse with different customs across regions. Dress and behavior that work in a big city might feel out of place in a rural town. We give practical tips to help you blend in where it counts.
Keep this tag bookmarked if you want fast, clear updates about Turkey — whether you plan to visit, follow regional news, or simply love the food and culture. We update regularly with short, useful pieces aimed at readers who want to stay informed without the noise.
