Holidays in Turkey
For millions of Russians, Turkey has become an alternative to Crimea, and every year more and more of our compatriots go there on vacation. Probably, it's not enough just to have a clean sea, equipped beaches, mountains and hotels – the Turks managed to adapt exactly to the preferences of Russian tourists. From the all-inclusive food system to the animator on the beach, everything works for one thing – forget about the problems and relax.
The visa.
Russian citizens have the right to obtain a Turkish visa upon arrival in the country, which allows them to stay in Turkey for two months.
Customs.
You can import any amount of money, but the export of Turkish lira is limited to an amount equal to $ 1,000.
Money
Turkish lira coins in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 200 units, as well as coins in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 kurush and 1 lira are in circulation in the country. You can change money almost anywhere, but you should remember that in banks the exchange rate is the least profitable, and the commission is the largest. ATMs are everywhere, plastic credit cards are also accepted for payment.
Climate.
The best time for a beach holiday is from mid-May to mid-September. If you want to experience the sights, it is better to go in April-May, when the heat is not so strong yet. The January average daily temperature hovers around +5 °C, and the July temperature is +23 °C, although it may exceed +40 °C for a short time.
Transport.
When arriving in Istanbul, Ankara or another city, use buses to get to your destination, as it is disproportionately expensive. Local minibuses are called Dolmush. A ferry on the Aegean coast will take you to the Greek islands, and from Trabzon to Sochi.
Medicine
Medical insurance, purchased in advance, will help to avoid possible health problems on vacation. There are many private hospitals and dental offices, especially in big cities, but the service there is quite expensive. Pharmacies are usually open until 19:00, but each resort must have one around the clock.
You need to know.
The Turks' hospitality is well known, but it is also known that they are all ardent patriots, so there is no need to comment on the country's politics, flag, Ataturk, the Armenian Genocide, the Kurdish and Cypriot themes. The same should be done with respect to religion. It should be remembered that Turks have an extremely negative attitude towards drunks, so you can not only pay a fine, but also spend the night at the police station.
Additional fees.
A visa stamp costs $20.
Drinking water.
Try to use bottled water, it is sold everywhere and is inexpensive. Drinking from fountains or from the tap can lead to unpredictable consequences.
Traditional cuisine
The cuisine is mixed, with Mediterranean, Arab, and Asian influences. Meat dishes are prepared mainly from beef and mutton. Among the most popular are cold fish (meze), meatballs (kefte), shawarma (doner) and many different kebabs (kebab).
Clothes
There are no special restrictions on clothing, especially for the resort area, but remember – this is a Muslim country where an undressed woman is considered a prostitute.
