I'm going wild
Hello! Guys, tell me, pliz, I planned a trip "savage" to Istanbul on April 26-29, 2012. I'm a girl, I'm 27 (don't scare me, just that they'll steal it, I've already heard :)) I booked a hotel Cagri hotel (Fatih). I have already bought tickets, but the closer the date, the more fears :) I just read that I need medical insurance, is that true? I don't have it.. Will someone ask about insurance, where exactly or is it just for me? How much money do you need (not including the hotel) for accommodation + sightseeing of Istanbul for these incomplete 3 days? And yet, if you can, still throw a couple of tips on how not to disappear to a lonely girl in Istanbul and return home safe and sound :) Thank you very much! I'm looking forward to it!

Insurance is more for you, no one has ever asked me about it. Tips for a girl not to disappear are exactly the same as in your city. Don’t get into cars with strangers, don’t walk around back streets at night. As for the budget, it depends on what you have planned.

Thank you :) Does anyone have contacts of private guides? I would like a little man for a couple of hours for a sightseeing tour ...

And what brings you there alone, even if you choose a different country or find a company, if there are such fears, then why fly?

:) You are not the first to ask this. I have long dreamed of seeing Istanbul, so I decided. Now I’m thinking what to do ... It’s a pity for the money for the ticket, they don’t seem to be returned

country as a country, and fears from scary stories on the internet. You can find problems on your head in any country.

Hm. And the border guards asked me for insurance as much as twice! The first time - just during the first visit to Istanbul 4 years ago (they were also interested in a voucher for a hotel), and the second time - a week ago, the Latvian border guards arranged a "check" of insurance. At what they even found fault with our friend, who had an open Latvian multivisa. So once in a while it is not necessary. It is better to have insurance, especially since the "pleasure" is inexpensive - 25-30 UAH, is issued within 5 minutes :) Why do you need the possible unpleasant "5 minutes of shame" at the passport control of an unfamiliar country?

upon arrival in Istanbul, they often asked for both insurance and hotel reservations. then they stopped.
now it’s interesting whether visas will be canceled or not, and then what they will ask

Anya, you never know what they, the border guards, will come to mind? What if they just like the young lady, they blurt out to "keep the conversation going", and then - embarrassment :) I was never interested in insurance upon arrival in the Schengen countries. I went to the same Latvia half a year ago without questions about insurance - and here, here you are, present it for control! And if I stuffed it into the luggage in the park, then what then? They would let me in, of course, but they would spoil the mood - that's a fact ...

I flew to Istanbul 2 weeks ago, they didn’t ask ANYTHING at the airport at all, it’s even insulting, I was getting ready)) As for the guide, I have contacts of one who gave us an excellent tour, he also turned out to be a “countryman” - he studied in Odessa. .. I liked the fact that he did not burden his story with an endless amount of facts and figures, but said only the main thing, plus he turned out to be an open and cheerful person and told a bunch of interesting things about local life. Give us your soap - I will send you his contacts. And about security and terrible "Turks" - do not read all this nonsense. More precisely, read, but filter. As one of our new Turkish friends told us on the last day of our stay in Istanbul, "Those who are looking for them will have troubles. And those who come to Istanbul with an open heart - everything will be fine." I agree with him one hundred percent - Istanbul is the most hospitable, warm, bright city, in which there is a sea of pleasant, open people.
We should learn from them openness and hospitality! Do not wander around the dark back streets at night and behave reasonably and with dignity - everything will be fine. Only women with "hungry" eyes can have problems there - I saw enough of them at the airport on the way back ....

As for insurance - what's stopping you from doing it? It's cheap and fast. And this is, first of all, for you. You never know what can happen ... - God forbid, of course, but everything happens. With her you will be calmer

THANK YOU to everyone who responded. I'll be alive :) I'll write it off when I get back.
And I'm also interested in the question of where (on what sites) you can find temporary work in Turkey, or by weeks, or only for the summer, well, something like this (but not as an animator). And indeed, is this even possible? I have a VO, my appearance is normal, English is good (spoken and written levels), I understand Slovak well, but I speak little.
Please share if anyone knows something. Thank you!

Just keep in mind that in order to legally work in Turkey, you need to obtain a work permit. This should be done by the employer. For illegal work, you may be fined and deported from Turkey for 5 years without the right to enter the country. Police checks have intensified this year.

Well, it became clear why you need Istanbul. Especially with an emphasis on "appearance and good English."
Traveling and looking for work are completely different things.
You've come to the wrong address.

Dear borispolskiy, I can only smile at your words :) I don’t want to discuss how you can offend a person without knowing his true intentions. BUT, God is with you :) I'm worried because I need to return home to my disabled son, who no one (even his own father) needs except me and no one will take care of him, that's for sure. I ask about work, since the illness of the little one is progressing, I don’t know if he can go to school in the fall, but no one helps us financially. I think I will have to quit my job, in connection with the condition of my son, therefore it would be an option for me to donate in the summer and earn extra money for me and my child, although I have to be with him, so I am torn between two fires. She mentioned appearance, education and languages, since a guide or a nanny for children, for example, would be good for me, and summer is the peak of tourism. Where is the majority going? To Turkey! And since the world is not without good people (thankful to many,
who help us), I decided to write here, maybe something useful will come across.
Well, since the topic here is not for my explanation, I think that's enough.
I want to thank everyone who writes reviews and shares their experience.
And you, borispolskiy, have already forgiven you for your words;)

in your case, it’s too late to get a guide, recruitment takes place in February. When I was in Odessa, a whole group of young people applied for work visas as guides. And the recruitment goes not to Istanbul, but to Antalya in large volume. Read about the vacancy for a nanny on the site that I gave http://rusgazete.com/tur/all/vakansii/list/
The easiest way to get a job in a store. One nuance is that they do not issue a work visa there, since the shops are private, and the state does not give permission for employment for small private traders. So you have to be careful to avoid problems with the police. In the case of deportation, with a strong desire to come back to Turkey, you can change your surname and passport.

In istanbul, indeed, work can only be found in trade (quick). in the Laleli area, designed for Russian traders, the language is not needed there.
but without dating, there is a great chance that you can simply be used as free labor.
enter "turkish info" into the search, this is a site of Russians living in turkey, there is a forum, there is a "Job" section. they can still help.
