heey! has anybody been charged money to enter Turkey as a tourist? I was not but I've heard some people that had that happened and I'm not sure what the criteria is.

sound like a very turkish scam )

by land or air?

I have entered by both land & air...I haven't been charged any money, but we needed to pay for the visas online. Otherwise, I believe you can pay it at the borders as well.

it was by land

hey guys, what are the usual destinations in turkey except for istanbul for nomads? ideally i'm looking for more of a beach place, to stay in short term (month or less)

Fethiye, Antalya, Mersin are all worth checking out.

nice, thanks!

My pleasure

The Antalya region is very nice. Lots of very beautiful coastal towns and historical sites to visit.

Hello I’m looking for a few recommendations in Istanbul. Anyhow up for that? Thanks

hows the weather in istanbul for october and november? worth it going?

september - early october - the best time for istanbul. mid october and further - quit a bit of rains.

Hey everyone
I want USDT, if you have USDT and want to change it to USD message me.

1 usd = 1 usdt
Without commission
Istanbul

Any idea why it doesn't let me create an account with gmail nor outlook? 🤔

Any recommendations on clinics that do medical imaging in Istanbul?

is Cihangir any good for digital nomads?

It is and it’s more expensive than other neighborhoods that are equally inviting.

flat rentals seems to be cheaper than Moda for example

Maybe they’ve gone down recently. That said, I wouldn’t stay in Moda. It’s too noisy for me. I would look at Rasimpaşa, Yeldeğermeni, or near Yoğurtçu Park.

Will need a temp office office setup for two three weeks in IST. Are there any spots that rent monitors? Or buy and return options ala Costco?

hello, anyone in Antalya want to hangout?)

Antalya best for nomads, Coworking Antalya has a great community

Hey guys, has anyone here secured a Turkey Digital Nomad Visa? Just learned that this existed and curious to learn more about your experience if so 🙂

no but please share what you learn 🙏

How's the nomad community in Istanbul? I arrive on Wednesday.

It's nothing incredible, but there are some around. I recommend staying in Kadikoy

Small but Nest does some events and can find more events around Kadikoy & Moda. Beautiful city though 😃

Check out Kadikoy Weekly. It’s a good local group of nomads and expats.

Anyone want to meet up in Kadikoy?

I can’t this weekend, but perhaps Monday evening or Tuesday.

I'd be down for Tuesday

for those in kadikoy, recommend dün for great food/work spot

Hey, if anyone’s in Istanbul and wants to meet up, I’d be happy to chat about life, share business perspectives, and get to know each other!

if you get a chance, recommend a trip out to adalar

Definitely down ☺️ will message you once I’m there szxonieakus

who in istabul?

I think a few of us are in istanbul, maybe we should organize a meetup!

I'm arriving Oct 1, would be down for a meetup

good, let's reach a decent number then we can organize one 🙂

Hey how’s Antalya in November nomad community wise?

I was there about three years ago for a month - there's a single nomad community which is quite strong but other than that nothing

Will move to Istanbul soon, any recommendations for a party hostel o a fun place to stay?

Nest can be a good place to meet people

Hey guys I arrived here in Istanbul just a few days ago and would love to coordinate a meet up!

How many of us are here / will be soon that’d be down to get together, and whereabouts is everyone staying?

Thinking we can solidify a date and location based on that :)

Good day everyone! Hope you are all keeping well & safe. I’m thinking of possibly going to Antalya for the month of December, would you suggest doing so? Thank you kindly 😇

Wabi Hostel private rooms in European side is a lovely time. I stayed there for a month last October. (wifi is only ok, so I recommend going to a cafe during the day if you work from home. There's a lovely cafe right across the street)

Definitely a party hostel. Boat parties on weekends (not sure when that'll end—depends on weather). During the week, there's hostel social events and bar crawls. Lots of diversity. Last year I met people from Turkey, Afghanistan, Australia, UK, Germany, you name it. Mix of digital nomad and travelers. Average age (from what I recall) is 25-40

I agree it has a weird vibe, I stayed just 4 days and the place looks old and not really well mantained. But there are definetly people to meet and the whatsapp group can be a good asset if staying here for long time. Their wifis are very good, around 200+ Mbps. There are only private rooms and each has a desk.

Was there end of October last year and it was suuuper warm and GORGEOUS! I remember my Airbnb host mentioning you can still swim there in December!! Honestly would probably be a really good time w it being off season as well.
