I stayed at a 3-star hotel right by the beach. Markets nearby had affordable food, but restaurants in the tourist area cost €15–30. In the city center, fish with bread was cheap. Minibuses to the center were frequent and low-cost, the area felt safe, and Izmir airport was about a 2-hour bus ride.

Posted: September 8, 2025I had a lovely time in Konya back in April. I did a Sufi full day tour, visited Sille village, watched the dervishes at Irfan center, and met with a local Travel Ladies member who made me feel so welcomed and took me out for lunches, teas, and desserts. The local transport system (Dolmuş) was a challenging to navigate, but with the help of Google maps google translate I was able to find my way. I felt very safe there as a solo female traveller

My sister, my brother in law and I went to the Çanakkale for the camping. We stayed assos for 2 nights and 3 mornings. Our campsite was in a very beautiful and safe place, and everything was available to meet your personal needs. Since no one interfered with each other, we had a very comfortable and pleasant time.
Posted: August 28, 2025It was very safe and peaceful city , in the daytime its quiet and so many people around but i like the nightlife. I stayed at the anzac hotel but there are so many of them i stayed the on that has a doner shop right in front of it.(close to that clock tower) And the hotels food was very salty the fries and meats but overall alright And the wifi was slow. I would recommend the i dont know what is that called but i think it was like a pizza toast or sandwich something that has cheese pepperoni and tomato sauce on the side. It is located right beside my hotel and the owner was very wholesome

If you avoid certain neighborhoods late at night and stay in busy areas, you shouldn’t have any problems in Istanbul. Just keep an eye on your bag and other belongings to prevent theft. Public transportation is generally safe, especially the metro. I’d recommend not taking minibuses or other shared vans.
