Good to know in Turkey
- An Istanbulkart works on trams, the metro, buses and ferries. Top it up and plan routes with a transit app.
- Balloon flights in Cappadocia depend on the weather, so keep your phone on for early-morning updates from your operator.
- BiTaksi and Uber both operate in Istanbul.
- Phones brought into Türkiye can be blocked after a while if they’re used with a Turkish SIM and not registered, so a travel eSIM keeps things simple for a holiday.
