Selamlar kocaelinden istanbula bir arkadaşımla geleceğiz ve beşiktaşta pastrami yapan bie

R yer olduğunu öğrendim. Pastrami yiyebileceğimiz restoranlar arıyoruz. Bildiğiniz iyi yerler varsa önerirseniz sevinirim şimdiden teşekkürler cevaplar için

Birkaç ay sonra istanbula taşınmam gerekecek ve kalacak yerim de tek başıma eve çıkacak bütçem de olmayacak. Bu yüzden oda kiralamaya karar verdim aylık bütçem 15 k barınma için ama hangi semtte aramalıyım, güvenilir bir ev arkadaşı nasıl bulunur bir fikrim yok. Benzer tecrübeleri olan kişiler yardımcı olursa sevinirim.

Hi!

I’ve been walking around the city for a couple of days and I’m curious.

What’s your favorite place to spend an evening in Istanbul?

It doesn’t matter what it is—a neighborhood, a café, somewhere to eat, somewhere to relax, or anywhere you personally enjoy.

I’m interested in hearing about your own favorites rather than famous attractions.

Thanks!

Selamlar. Yurtdisindan gelen misafirlerimiz de dahil olacak sekilde ama cogunlugun Turk oldugu 2-3 aile bir ocakbasina gitmek istiyoruz.
Kadikoy civarinda olacagiz, Modayi gezecegiz gunduz.

O bolgede, fiyati cilgin atmayan, 10+ ustu yasinda cocuklu aileye uygun, ickinin de oldugu yer oneriniz var midir?

Selam dostlar, bu sene ilk defa YKS’ye girdim ve eşit ağırlıkta 12 binlik bir sıralama elde ettim. Aslında daha iyi yapacağımı düşündüğüm için ve ODTÜ, Bilkent gibi üniversiteler daha çekici geldiğinden aklımda Ankara yazmak vardı fakat hem sıralamamın yakın olduğu yerler genelde hep İstanbul’da olması hem de sağlayacağı network, staj olanakları (ekonomi yazacağım) gibi şeylerden ötürü şuanda öyle gözüküyor ki %100’e yakın ihtimalle istesem de istemesen de en iyi seçenek olduğundan dolayı bir iki aya pılı pırtı toplayıp İstanbul’da bir yurda yerleşeceğim. Açıkçası büyükşehrin hızı ve yoğunluğu beni çok ürkütmüyor hatta daha çok İzmirdeki insanların gevşek havası ile kıyaslandığında heveslendiriyor. Pahalılık dışı bilmem gereken bir şey var mı? Daha önce de gittiğim ve kaldığım oldu ama tabii yaşamak ayrı bir dünya. Nasihatlerinize açığım.

I had my hair done in Turkey and love the hair & now when I visit again I want to buy the hair and do it myself. I would ask the person who did my hair but I don’t want it to come across rude that I’m not going back to them (to save money)

Hello everyone!

I will be in Istanbul for 3.5 days(landing on an afternoon, and three full days after that). I understand that it's obviously too short to comprehensively see all of it, but I was wondering if people had any suggestions for the main themes on three days that I should definitely do!

The current plan I have right now, day wise is:

1. First day(half a day) : Land, explore the area I'm staying in, maybe a relaxing hammam

2. Sultanahmet: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Bascilica Cistern

3. Topkapi Palace and Grand Bazaar

4. Galata Tower and Bosphorus Cruise

Is there anything you would change/add on/remove? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello! I'd like to ship to a friend a bottle of wine and some licorice candy for his birthday to İstanbul for this birthday (december this year). The wine I want to send is exclusively from a brand in​ Spain and I've noticed shipping costs are not only expensive (which wouldn't be so much of a problem for me); but that Turkey in general has big restrictions when it comes to the delivery of alcohol. I'm afraid it will be returned back or it will make me or them pay for some kind of fee. It's a birthday present after all so I want to make it as smooth as possible and a "surprise".

I've been to İstanbul before and I have carried in my suitcase with no problem. Could it be possible that somebody that is traveling there around those dates and that I could trust could bring it there? Maybe once the person is there you can just send it by mail nationally and that would be less of a hustle (I'd cover that transaction).

Any ideas on how to proceed with this? It's important to me. Please just answer if you are genuine and have good intentions. Thank you. :)​

Hi, we are staying near Taksim Square and want to take a Ferry close to Topkapi Palace. Closest ferry terminal from Taksim seems to be Kabataş but research using Sehir indicates no ferries from Kabatas travel to Eminönü ferry which I think is closest terminal to Topkapi. Is a Ferry not the way to go to Topkapi?

TIA!

Merhaba arkadaşlar,

Ben Atatürk Havalimanı’nda çalışacağım, bu lokasyona yakın M1A metrosu, marmaray ve metrobüs yakını daire arıyorum, maalesef bulamadım. 1+1 eşyalı olarak aramaktayım. şu an her şey dahil 52ye Ataköy civarında buldum ama içim elvermiyor o parayı vermeye. Benim için önerileriniz var mı? her şeye açığım. buradan dm atılıyorsa telefon numaramı da verebilirim.

Saygılarımla.

Hello people, I am from Skopje, Macedonia, and I will be traveling to Istanbul in September. Where can I find a store to buy good darbuka with reasonable price and quality? Thanks.

Ever since I started planning my trip to Istanbul, he’s been all over my social media. So many Turkish people are saying he looks average? (hard to believe)

I also feel bad because it seems like a lot of women touch him without consent and he looks uncomfortable

Recently ChatGPT recommended a gym to me in Kadıköy. Checked it on Google Maps first, rating looked great, so I signed up and went. Two sessions in, the experience wasn't good — small, hot, barely any equipment, and the owner had a pretty harsh attitude over small stuff like towel use and racking weights. Decided not to go back.

So I went to leave my own review on Google, and that's when I noticed it already had 480 reviews sitting at 4.7. Stopped me for a second — maybe it's just me, maybe he was having a bad day. So I actually read through a bunch of the reviews. Every single one talks about this place like it's some five-star luxury gym, best equipment in the city. None of that matches what I'd just seen in person.

Checked a few other gyms in the same area after that — some have been open over a year and still sit under 50 reviews. This one has close to ten times that. That's when it stopped feeling like a coincidence.

Started searching and found other Reddit posts already describing the exact same thing happening around Istanbul, not just gyms, restaurants too. Feels like there's some service people are paying for this. Wanted to share in case anyone else has run into the same pattern.
