Important tips

  • The 90 days are counted within any 180 days, so if you visit Turkey more than once a year, add up your days.
  • Istanbul has two airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side, so choose the one nearer your hotel.
  • If you're travelling between Istanbul and Trabzon or Antalya, book domestic flights early in summer.
