Emma's Istanbul Trip Tips |
| Do not pay more than 25 Dollars for Taxi travel from the airport to any hotel in the Sultanahmet region. Remember that your transportation from the airport to the Emma Saray is 30 $ |
| All travelers from outside of Europe: If you would like to use your personal cell phone during your stay buy your SIM card at the airport at AVEA. This will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble. Once activated your cell phone will last for 7 - 10 days per phone. If you bring two cell phones you can use the same SIM card on each phone for 7 - 10 days. |
| Exchange your money at the airport - Once you arrive in Istanbul and go through the passport check point there is a 24 hr money exchange next to baggage claim. |
| Always haggle - There are no fixed prices at the Grand Bazaar & Spice Market. You can talk the prices down, and remember to have fun. |
| Don't tip, just smile - There is no need to tip in Turkey. Everything is included in the price of your meal and tipping is very uncustomary. |
