Hi there - I have dual Canada-U.S.A citizenship. I normally travel on a Canadian passport because I live in Canada and am more Canadian than American; but the cost of an eVisa for U.S. citizens is only $20 vs. $60 for Canadians, so I'm likely going to apply as an American.

But I thought I'd ask and see if there is any real benefit or practical reason anyone can think of to travel in Turkey as one or the other? I doubt it makes any difference at all, but maybe there's a preference? The Turks…

I am looking for any help in planning my first trip to Turkey. I will be travelling alone.
I arrive mid morning on Apr 21st and Depart on May 8th in the afternoon.

I am just starting so open to any and all suggestions. I want to keep the costs down but am open to one or two internal flights and perhaps one or two night buses. Some suggestions about the logistics (bus, train, flights) would be appreciated.
I have seen some suggestion flying to Cappadocia immediately and then travelling back to…

ramadan

Hi - I'm going to be in Turkey for June and July, during the whole of Ramadan. I'll primarily be in the east, and am guessing the fasting will be more of a mild inconvenience for me than a major challenge.

Do you guys agree?

Thanks - Andrew

(Sorry, I posted this already but might not have done it correctly, here it is again).

Hi - I need a little help identifying a post office in Ankara. I want to send something to the Ankara GPO via postrestant. I've been informed that the example of how to address it looks like this:

Addressee
Postrestant
post office/sub-locality/locality
TURKEY

So as an example, something going to Istanbul would look like this:

Alici Ibrahim Uzumcu
Postrestant
KURFALL1/KARTAL/INSTANBUL
TURKEY )

I can't…

This "thank you" is very much long overdue. Back in October 2014, sarikanarya, a very regular contributor to this Forum, gave my wife and I some great advice about traveling to and staying in Turkey. Well, thanks to this person's your great advice, my wife and I had a wonderful time in Turkey October of last year. From arriving in Turkey, to staying in Turkey, and finally leaving Turkey, everything was fantastic and I contribute all of this to sarikanarya's great advice, all of which this person…

We will be in Turkey during the June elections. I'd like to know a little more about what is going on. My eyes started glazing over when I began reading Wikipedia's report about all the parties, etc. Can anyone give me a general overview of what is going on, what is at stake, how Kurdish elements fit in, conservative versus liberal Islamic values, etc. Also, does voting occur in polling centers, is voter fraud a big issue and when are the results announced?

I'm sure I could get all of this…
