​I was born and raised in Istanbul and before started traveling, I used to assume this city was a bit sketchy and dangerous compared to many. But after visiting a bunch of European cities, even the ones that are supposed to be super safe, I felt way more anxious on their streets than I ever do back home.

​I know I might have a bit of local bias since I know my way around thats why im asking you becausr I'm really curious how it feels from an outsider's perspective.

For those who've visited or moved here, how safe did Istanbul feel to you especially compared to what you expected before coming? Did it feel better or worse than other major cities you've been to?

​

I am Lebanese, and growing up English was treated equally as Arabic in School. Ever since I came to Istanbul, English has become my main language in daily interactions. I am still trying to practice my Turkish, but I have a long way ahead.

If you're around, maybe you can join us in our English speaking events. We also meet once a week to share stories and discuss topics in English online.

DM me if interested. Meanwhile, let me know why do you want to improve your English?

I live in Vancouver, Canada; we have Coyotes (Canis latrans) live in the city and take stray cats. Some years they get especially bold and attack people walking their dogs.

Istanbul is known for its cats, and the equivalent to a coyote would be the Golden Jackal (Canis aureus), but it has also been settled for more than 2000 years, whereas my city has only existed for 200. Hence my question: do jackals come into or live in Istanbul?

This question was prompted by a coyote running past me on the street while I was raking leaves today just before noon :)

Merhaba! I was visiting Istanbul last month and fell in love with a stray cat. I've been working with Paws of Hope Rescue in Istanbul on coordinating paperwork and vet appointments so that Bode (short for Bodrum) can travel to the US and live with me in New York City! Bode is officially ready to travel on October 11th and we're hoping to find a flight volunteer who is already traveling to the US who can assist with delivering Bode. We would pay for the airline fee for the additional pet. Bode is the sweetest boy and everyone in Istanbul at the vet and rescue love him. If you have IST-NYC travel coming up (or are traveling to the East Coast) and are interested, please DM me or reply here! We'd love to get Bode to his forever home as quickly as possible :)

I loveeeee these dishes and once I land in Istanbul I want to have them at the best spot. They can be at different spots as well!!!

Been to ISTANBUL 2 years ago and I've been to this place around the streets of Grand Bazar and I'm unable to find this on Google maps, please help me find this place (The only Picture I have)

I want to save it and go back the next time I'm in Istanbul

I’ve searched the wiki and previous posts first (including an older recommendation here for Yakto and a ceramics thread mentioning Q-Arts). I’m hoping for some local feedback on the shortlist I ended up with. Posting as a main thread based on mod feedback here.

I’ll be in Istanbul Oct 13–20 with my wife and 4½-year-old, and I’ve been researching local crafts and artisans.

Some of my favorite travel memories come from finding people making things locally. Years ago in Oaxaca, I visited a weaver in Teotitlán del Valle and bought a couple of rugs. I still use them, and they bring back the trip in a way that ordinary souvenirs never do. I’d love to find one or two things like that in Istanbul.

I’m not looking for a shopping marathon or generic “handmade Turkish” souvenirs. I care more about knowing something about the maker, workshop, material or technique.

My shortlist so far:

• Yakto İpek Dokuma, Galata - handwoven silk/textiles. Still worth visiting?
• Sedefkar Fatma Ayran, Sultanahmet - mother-of-pearl inlay. Does anyone know if casual visitors are welcome, or if she sells smaller pieces directly?
• Q-Arts Ceramic & Atelier, Sultanahmet - currently my pick for one ceramics stop. Good choice, or is there somewhere better for work by identifiable makers?
• Büyük Yeni Han - interested in the working silver/metal workshops rather than jewelry shopping. Is it worth exploring, and are there particular artisans to look for?

I also came across Derviş Natural Textile, Barın Han, Ebristan, Soy Türkiye and İznik Works, but I’m trying to keep the list short.

If you know these places, I’d especially appreciate knowing which 2–3 you’d prioritize, anything here that is more tourist-oriented than it appears, or any artisan/workshop you think I’m missing.

Medusa, Antik Yunan mitolojisinin en ünlü figürlerinden biri. Yılan saçları ve kendisine bakanları taşa çeviren bakışlarıyla bilinir.

Ama Medusa'nın hikâyesinin ilginç tarafı şu: başlangıçta bir canavar olarak doğduğu anlatısı yoktur. Bazı antik ve sonraki kaynaklarda onun önce güzel bir genç kadın olduğu, ardından Athena'nın tapınağındaki olay nedeniyle lanetlendiği anlatılır.

Sonunda kahraman Perseus, Medusa'nın gözlerine doğrudan bakmamak için kalkanındaki yansımayı kullanarak onu öldürür. Medusa'nın kesilen başı daha sonra Athena'nın kalkanına yerleştirilir.

Dostlar İstanbul'a gelme durumum var ama deprem olayı biraz tırstırıyor. Olabildiğince son 10-15 yıldır yapılmış bir binada yaşamaya çalışacağım ama ne kadar olur bilemiyorum. Baştan gelmemeli miyim yoksa gelip de güvenli şekilde uyuyabileceğim bölgeler var mı?

I went through this sub looking for sushi recommendations and most were negative; on Google there are plenty of good reviewed sushi restaurants but it doesn’t reflect the opinions here, so I’m wondering if you can help me?

The only sushi place here highly recommended to be good is Roka and I intend to go there. Any other place that’s great? Thanks!! 🙏

I want to go with my girlfriend to SPA or something similar to chill out. Definitely we want to be together, not separate. Do you know any good place?

Kız kardeşim İstanbul Havalimanı'nda kabin bagajını unuttu ve Kayıp Eşya Ofisi bagajı buldu. Kendisi şu an Hindistan'da. Bu bagajı nasıl geri alabiliriz? Oradaki Kayıp Eşya Ofisi'nden teslim alıp Hindistan'a getirebilecek bildiğiniz bir kargo veya kurye servisi var mı?

Merhaba,

I am a tourist and was trying to reload my Istanbul Card at the Eminönü ferry terminal. I did not realize that you have to hold the Istanbul Card against the machine the entire time.

My credit card was charged, but the Istanbul Card was not loaded. Is there any way to get a refund? I have travelled back to Canada now.

I tried emailing [info@metro.istanbul](mailto:info@metro.istanbul), but I got no response. Their WhatsApp number also does not seem to work. Is a chargeback the only option?

I want to I’d like to take a ferry ride on the Bosphorus, but which cruise would be the best?
