Avoiding over friendly people is the best advice. For restaurants, shops, bars etc. Something to also remember is the economy is terrible right now and I feel how stressed people are. After 20 years of visiting Istanbul it’s still one of my favorite cities to visit.

I absolutely love Istanbul and Turkey for that matter. I did see some of these callouts as far as scams and was thankful I was educated by channels like this. Always asked what the costs were ahead of time at bars, restaurants. The Turkish people are very friendly and will work hard to bridge the language gap. I cant wait to go back.

Had a street hustler act like he was helping fill my Istanbulkart and he did not. He acted like the machine was not working so we switched machines. Later I saw I had two charges to my bank account and my Istanbulkart had not been charged. I laugh about it. He probably had an accomplice stepping up after and loading their card. I learned my lesson. Update: Reported to my bank and the Belbim Istanbulkart company refund my money including the Foreign Exchange Rate Adjustment. 🎉

You need to be cautious with Uber taxis as well because Uber shows you a range between which the fare would come out to be and not an exact amount. It is upto the driver to decide what to charge. I was in Istanbul last week and noticed this. The uber app was showing around 180-220 TRY but the ride costed me 389 TRY. On the next ride i noticed that the driver was entering the amount to be charged himself . So be very aware of this . Request uber to refund the difference and they will
