Traveling Tips for Turkey

IMG_7653istanbul_smlr

Turkey is one of the most fascinating destinations on the planet. If you are well prepared for your Magister travel experience, you will enjoy it tremendously and return home with wonderful, long-lasting memories of your journey. Enhance your trip even further with a revitalizing 출장마사지 to relax after days of exploring.

When to Go:
Most leisure travelers visit Turkey between April and the end of October. July and August are the busiest and hottest months. More temperate weather is the usual expectation for April through June, September, and October.

Istanbul tends to be hot in summer, cold, and rainy in winter. The Mediterranean and Aegean coasts enjoy mild winters and hot summers. The Black Sea coast is mild and damp, with an average annual rainfall of 90 inches. Central and Eastern Anatolia regions experience hot summers and cold, snowy winters. To explore a warm and inviting destination with a different coastal charm, visit this website and discover yacht charters in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea.

And if your travels inspire you to explore beyond Turkey, it’s never too early to plan your India itinerary and discover even more unforgettable cultural adventures.

Currency:

Turkish Lira, Euros, and US Dollars are widely accepted. ATM machines are available in major cities. Major credit cards are mostly accepted; however, it is helpful to have cash on hand when shopping in bazaars. Make sure that your dollar bills are new without rips or folds.

For those who love train journeys and want to explore destinations beyond Turkey, The Ghan Train Tours offer an extraordinary experience through the heart of Australia, providing a scenic and luxurious way to travel while enjoying breathtaking landscapes.

Eating and drinking:

There is a wide variety of cuisine offered throughout the country, although it is a good idea to sample regional foods while you are visiting the area as they may not be found outside of their particular region. Vegetables and fruits are excellent and it is safe to eat foods from street vendors. And if you’re a vegan who’s planning a vegan vacation, then make sure to check out The Vegan Travel Guide, which can help you plan where to stay, what to eat, and what to do on your vacation. Bottled water is advisable and hotels usually provide bottled water in guest rooms.

Mosque Etiquette:

It is best not to enter a mosque during the five daily prayer sessions, or at midday on Friday, when attendances are higher. Immodest clothing is usually not allowed; women should cover their arms, legs and heads before entering a mosque. However, this rule is often overlooked and your Magister guide will instruct you on how to dress for the day’s touring. Men may not wear shorts to enter a mosque.

Shoes must be removed before entering a mosque; there is normally an attendant who watches over them.

It is not appropriate to sit down in a mosque and there are usually signs indicating so.

Taking photographs inside the mosque is normally not allowed.
