Do I need a visa for Turkey?
Turkey has dropped visa requirements for U.S. travelers, but visitors from other countries should check Turkey's e-visa regulations. You can apply for a Turkey Visa at https://www.evisa.gov.tr/en/ from anywhere and anytime. You only require an internet connection and access to laptops, tablets, smartphones, or desktop computers to complete the visa application process.

Is Turkey accessible and disabled-friendly?
There are few accessible facilities for the disabled in Turkey, mainly in Istanbul. Some hotels and most streets have ramps for wheelchairs; public transportation is also wheelchair accessible in Istanbul. However, cars parked on the pavements restrict the area available to pedestrians and are a hazard for the visually handicapped. On the other hand, Turkish people will go out of their way to help handicapped travelers overcome obstacles whenever possible. #accesibletravel #privateistanbultours #guidedturkeytours#
Food, drink, and gratuity?
Visitors have highly praised Turkish cuisine. Using best-quality meat, fresh fish, and vegetables, carefully prepared and served, it eschews the elaborate sauces used by cooks of other nationalities to disguise the shortcomings of their less-successful offerings. Because of the uncomplicated nature of Turkish cooking, even the most unpretentious establishments can provide satisfying meals. Although it may not always be speedy, a smile usually accompanies service. Restaurants in the cities and larger towns usually add a service charge to the bill. You can give a small additional amount to show your appreciation. If a service charge is not shown, 10-15 percent is acceptable as a gratuity. There is no ban on the sale of alcohol, and many Turks drink beer, wine, or raki, an aniseed-flavored spirit of considerable potency., is popularly known as Aslan sutu (lion's milk). #Istanbulfoodtours
