• To move nimbly in a big city with a plot as complicated as Istanbul, it is advisable to always carry a map in your pocket. Outside the tourist areas there are few Turks who speak English. Therefore, it should not have the means to remain at the mercy of strangers.

• The English traveler who comes to Istanbul are in luck. We have an excellent image to the Turks. They know our players and even some of the more curious topics. In tourist areas, it is common to find people who speak a little English and to engage in conversation with tourists know nothing.

• When done with Turkish lira (YTL), we recommend you go to exchange houses that are scattered around the tourist area of ??Istanbul and Istiklal street. Charge less commission offices at airports and banks. No trouble changing YTL euros and vice versa.

• One of the plans usually required of the traveler who goes to Istanbul to go to the hamam or Turkish bath. The Cemberlitas (www.cemberlitashamami.com.tr) and Cagaloglu (www.cagalogluhamami.com.tr) offer guarantees of good service. They have separate areas for men and women can be the most prudish swimsuit. Everyone seems to be concerned about the hygiene of these places, but do not know anyone who has had problems with either of these establishments. However, we must take into account that it is a plan for tourists. The Turks for many years were the bathroom at home and stopped going to the hamam.

• As in other parts of Europe Lunch is between 12.30 and 13.30. Dinner from 20.00.

• The majority of Turks profess the faith of Muhammad, but also their culture is extremely open. Travel to this country during Ramadan, the fasting month of Muslims, give tourists the opportunity to break the fast at the Turkish style. Ramadan means celebration for the Turks, joy, enjoy time with family, friends and coworkers … The restaurants offer special menus of Ramadan that will participate in a very special tradition.

• Other plans in Istanbul we approach the Turkish culture will see a football match. Istanbul has three football teams: Galatasaray, Besiktas and Fenerbahce. The fans lived with intensity and game attendance do not advise the derby because of the gaps in security, will check. Stages of Besiktas (European side) and Fenerbahçe (Asian side) were fairly close to the city center.

• The Turks are friendly people, but sometimes quite conservative. Young people differ little from their counterparts in other European countries: most girls do not wear hijab (headscarf on the head), and prevail cowboys abound makeup. However, when leaving the historic part, a look too bold (short shorts and tank tops) draw the attention of the elderly.

• Unfortunately, the people who live in Istanbul tourism is that tourists used to have an income much higher than the Turks. Fifteen years ago this was true, but lately the quality of life in Istanbul has been close enough to other European capitals. Therefore, it should always review the accounts in restaurants (usually with inflated expenses that have not been performed) and the turns of the purchase. We must also open your eyes when using a taxi as there are a thousand and one tricks to overcharge the traveler.

• Scams targeting tourists are also on the agenda. The shoeshine, which are certainly a nice picture of the city, likely to pick up stuff when they see a tourist pass clueless. Ahead of them casually drop a brush, and when the tourist delivers it with the best intentions, the shoeshine boy offers to clean his shoes. At the end, he claims the ten or twelve tourist lire.

If you’re traveling to Istanbul and you want a female escort, inIstanbul escorts, you can find the most beautiful girls to enjoy their stay.

• They should also pay attention to the tourists who want to make the cruise that crosses the Bosphorus Strait. The traveler should go directly to the box spring that bears the name of Bogazici Iskelesi and buy your ticket at the window. Near the dock, some people try to convince tourists that make the trip on another boat. The price of these trips will be more expensive private alternatives. The journey is less and not reached a destination, but after an hour trip back to the same place.3
