It’s my hometown actually so I stay at my grandma’s house. I don’t really remember a restaurant name 😬 but I can say that Mardin foods are delicious and if you go around there ( Mardin, Urfa, Antep, Diyarbakır, Hatay, Adana vs ) eat these ( İçli köfte, kaburga dolması, kebap,şekerli pide, ciğer, baklava katmer künefe vs )
Posted: March 26, 2025Well the traffic is really bad espacially during the rush hours. Apart from the traffic the view i took the picture was fascinating. The food around town is really great and you can actually find different cuisines from all around turkey and they worth to try
Posted: March 17, 2025I was very young when i visited Istanbul. I had family there, so i've been there once every year. It's a beautiful city that offers everything you desire. The locals are nice, but i would keep to myself as a solo female traveler and not go out when its dark or go into any creepy allys.
Posted: March 16, 2025I really liked Istanbul. But it was a bit expensive to be honest. The food is great, I definitely recommend you to try it. I felt safe in the city, it is very touristic and full of warm people. I recommend you not to come without seeing Topkapi Palace.

I was there camping and had to tell you that I left my heart in Izmir when I came back to the İstanbul🥹. The food, sea, and people, and every second I spent there was a magnificent memory for me. I am thinking about going to Izmir this summer again if I have my chance.
Posted: March 10, 2025Experienced: June, 2024Everywhere is filled with hotels and tourists. It is not suitable for swimming as a traveler, so I wouldn't recommend it. We went to help save Caretta turtles, but that was also a disappointing experience. I don't recommend helping with that either.

We stayed in Kadikoy with my fiancée to visit art galleries(specifically Frida Kahlo), museums, Kız Kulesi, Galata Kulesi we stayed at a relative’s house and it was pretty fun we took a lor of pictures. The museum is a must see, also there are bazaars occasionally and it’s cheaper than the places near touristic attractions. People were so kind cats were everywhere. We felt safe yet we were still cautious in crowded places for pickpockets. Transportation was not as much of a disaster as I expected it to be. You don’t wait much and its not that crowded if you don’t take it after 7 pm.

The people in Trabzon a little bit agressive than usual but when it comes to women they are overly protective and I was suprised because of this so I asked my dad because he went to college in Trabzon. He said for the people from the region of Black Sea (Karadeniz), women is very important when they see a woman on the street they automatically thinks “This woman is our daughter” or “This woman is our sister” so no one touch them. And when I heard that I felt more secure than normal. It was a good trip for me but their dishes weren’t quite to my taste.
Posted: March 3, 2025Antalya’s nights were really extraordinary I want to do many things but because of my family I couldn’t do many things but It was fun and enjoyable. The only bad thing that I can say about Antalya is that place was very very hot.

I am living this neighborhood for my whole life. I studied in diffrent neighborhoods and never feel safe as I feel here. I think it is one of the safest places in Istanbul. You can walk on the streets comfortably at night. The shopping areas are clean and fair.
Posted: April 3, 2025I can go out every hours. Just need to pay attention what to do and how to do. For example until 12 am or in the morning 6 am you’ll not feel alone but between you might be careful. No public transportation so you can use taxis.
