Lol it’s not cheap, I’m paying 3k for a 3 week stay next month

I felt like it was even more scammy outside of tourist areas. I went on an adventure to the outskirts of Istanbul just to be welcomed by rude people and a hotel manager which stole $400 from me

Couldn’t agree with this more. Was sorely disappointed by Türkiye, very third world. In Malaysia now and it’s a paradise in comparison
