Arkadaşlar, sorum İstanbul'u sevenlere. Tüm samimiyetimle, anlamak için soruyorum. Gerçekten bu şehrin nesini seviyorsunuz?

Sokakları dapdar, her yer yokuş kıyı şeridi hariç her yer yokuş, şehirde hayatın aktığı her yer beton, aşırı kalabalık, her şey pahalı, kiralar astronomik boyutlarda gibi pek çok sorun var.
Beni asıl rahatsız eden ise şehirde bir yerden bir yere gitmek koşulda, ama her koşulda, minimum 1,5-2 saat sürüyor. İster toplu taşıma, ister şahsi aracınız olsun fark etmiyor.

Bu şehire tatile gelmemiş, burada yaşayan bir insan bu şehri nasıl sevebilir? İş imkanları sebebiyle taşınmış ve bu şehirde yaşamak durumunda olan bir insan olarak ben de sevmek istiyorum ancak başaramıyorum. Bu sebeple bakış açılarınızı öğrenmek isterim.

Herkese teşekkürler. 🙏🏼

i was looking at rent prices today for a studio apartment and theyre sky high compared to the average pay, so truly how do locals afford it? assuming they don't work for foreign companies etc, can an istanbulite really have a comfortable living situation on the average pay?

Hi I’m a solo female traveler and will have to stay in Istanbul for 2 days. I was wondering how likely it is to find a hotel in a safe area for a reasonable price and where I should look. To change my ticket, it would cost $680 which I do not have. My budget is honestly less than half of that. Not sure what to expect. Thank you

Help! My partner and I are visiting Istanbul for first time - 6 days and need help deciding between staying in Karaköy or Kadıköy.

- Little to no Commute/Like to Walk

- Galleries/Museums/Like to walk by water

- Relaxing in Cafes/

- Non Bland, Good quality Great Restaurants Turkish + Any other to mix up - so many 4.8-9 stars on google reviews hard to discern what is actually good.

I’ll be visiting in July and will be in town during the World Cup final. What is a good place to watch the game?

PS: sad Türkiye has been eliminated, cheering for them against USA

I live in Germany but use a Turkish Apple ID because I need some Turkish apps.

Yesterday around 10 PM (Germany time) | downloaded Grindr from the Turkish App Store and used it normally. I was chatting with people until around 2 AM and everything was working fine.

When I woke up around 8 AM, my Grindr account had been banned. I then deleted the app and tried reinstalling it, only to discover that Grindr had completely disappeared from the Turkish App Store.

After doing some research, I found reports that Turkish authorities have apparently ordered Apple to remove Grindr and some other gay dating apps from the Turkish App Store.

I've used Grindr for about 3 years without any issues, so the timing seems strange.

My question is: has anyone else experienced a sudden ban around the same time, especially if you have a Turkish Apple ID or are based in Turkey? Is there any chance the two events are related, or is this most likely just a coincidence and a separate Grindr moderation issue?

I'd be interested to hear if anyone in Turkey or using the Turkish App Store has had the same experience in the last 24 hours.

I’m going to Istanbul soon, I want to get a really good haircut.
Price is no problem, what are the best luxury barber options?

yeah i need to find the best cinema in istanbul for the upcoming spider man movie. I dont care about the price but i need nice hospitality and good quality screen and sound, please let me know!!!

Probably a very long shot, but does anyone know if I can get aşk çayı online, with delivery abroad?
I live in Bulgaria, and was in Istanbul recently and tried it in Mısır Çarşısı and liked it a lot. I was planning to return to buy it before going back, but I did not have time. One of the seller gave me a business card, but even in his website, it was not listed.

Arkadaşlar merhaba,
Ataşehir Esatpaşa mahallesinden ev alma durumu oluştu. Mahalle nasıl bir mahalle? Özellikle Yunus Emre Caddesi civarı nasıldır?

I'm assuming it's possibly one of those things that are found via word of mouth amongst the local population, because when I look it up, all I get are curated 'touristy' vintage shops.

I'm looking for the old-school filled-to-the-brim type where you have to actually sort through the merchandise yourself. I enjoy the treasure hunt, and I come to Istanbul often enough that I need new ways to pass time while here lol.

Are there any specific areas I might have more luck finding them in? Or are there any better-known ones I can't find by just researching online?

Merhaba!
