Safety information for Turkey based on my recent experience.

General Safety:
Overall felt safe. Used common sense, no issues.

Areas to Be Careful:
Bus/train station area sketchy after dark.

Common Scams:
Check bill before paying — hidden charges happen.

Health:
Always use protection. Pharmacies widely available.

Stay smart, stay safe.

Did you use an agency or find girls at online?

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $139/day all-in. Quality was good.

My tip: avoid weekends.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
