Rules in force · 5
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Check whether your passport is visa-exempt; if it is not, apply only at evisa.gov.tr — lookalike sites charge extra and some sell nothing.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗At mosques cover shoulders and knees, take shoes off at the door, and women carry a headscarf; stay out during prayer times.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Taxis must run the taximeter; refuse flat quotes, or book through BiTaksi or Uber so the ride is logged.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Carry lira in small notes for tea, markets, tips and toilets; prices move with inflation, so treat every printed price as dated.
- Türkiye (Turkey) ↗Do not take stones, coins or tiles from ancient sites, and export no antiques without a museum certificate; travellers have been detained at airport customs.
Beypazarı is a valley town 100 km west of Ankara, on the old Istanbul–Ankara trade road, with several blocks of traditional Ottoman houses, a 400-year-old courtyard han and a canyon of rock-cut dwellings 2 km north. It is small: the historic centre is walkable in half a day, and most visitors come from Ankara on the 548 or 577 bus. Come for the old town and the carrots, not for a resort stay.
