we checked out all coworking spaces on the European side and by far the best was CoBaC where we stayed for a month - if you’re closer to Levent ImpactHub would be our first spot though followed by KollektifHouse

saeidr 6mo

I ended up using KollektifHouse
It's not perfect, although good enough

I couldn't get the 10day or monthly pass with passport, so I used a Turkish friend's account.
Their staff don't know english at all ((:

Internet is not bad. Sometimes it gets disconnected (mostly at midnight)
People talk freely in every area, even the silent zone

It's good that it is 24/7.

saeidr 6mo

I had a open mic standup set yesterday. I would've invited you if I saw your message sooner.
There are weekly English standup events and I suggest joining them
One of them:

simitandchill 6mo

Moda is where it’s at. That’s my happy place. Make sure you go to brekkie

simitandchill 6mo

Matter fact, let me just give you my top places I don’t share with anyone in moda / ist as a whole

You can check each spot off and save the map on your phone https://www.varedelo.com/m/2ak5v5fclridgomu

carlycheton 6mo

simitandchill 6mo

saeidr 6mo

if anyone is intrested, I'll be happy to set a time to meet before or after the open mic to talk
Tomorrow is my last day in Istanbul (:

simitandchill 6mo

I would love a Turkish standup so I can get my B1 level to C

saeidr 6mo

This specific one is English
But if you look for Turkish ones, there are lots of it! You can easily fine some. I suggest Tuzbiber club as it's most famous. Louie CK once was there

simitandchill 6mo

Thanks!

simitandchill 6mo

Link!?

lik3 6mo

I‘m in Moda for the next 3 weeks

lik3 6mo

I might come as well. Do you think you need to buy the tickets in advance or is there usually enough space to get them at the door?

saeidr 6mo

There are always space and you can buy tickets at the door
These are small events. 5-10 people, mostly comedians themselves ((:

saeidr 6mo

Tuzbiber has mostly Turkish standups and sometime english:

Let me know if you are here
I'm already here, eager to meet some new people and anxiously thinking about jokes 😃

simitandchill 5mo

Merhaba arkadaşlar, does anyone know good beach spots not as hot and humid as Antalya in the summer?

mehmetd 5mo

you can try egean coasts, west side of Turkey. mugla, aydin, izmir.
I am at mugla for summer

sylow 5mo

Anyone in Izmir, especially in Karsiyaka/Bostanli area? I will be here on and off till September/October and always up for flat white and talk.

jacopo 4mo

Hey guys, I am nomad since many years and do SEO. I will be in Istanbul for a bit more than 1 month. If anyone wants to go out i.e. nightlife let me know! 😉

simitandchill 4mo

Nice I may come to Mugla do
You have recommendations like Marmaris vs Mugla city center vs datca etc

simitandchill 4mo

You should try beyturan lokanta

simitandchill 4mo

My favorite Izmir spots https://www.varedelo.com/m/b880jyywr43kilfp

mehmetd 4mo

datca and marmaris both good options, check Bodrum if you are interested in night life and dont mind crowded places

simitandchill 4mo

If I’m more into food and less on nightlife is Bodrum a bad idea

simitandchill 4mo

Or should I say zero Nightlife Lol

mehmetd 4mo

you can find all that in Bodrum but its best known for night life, i recommend end of august and September due to weather but thats just me. august is a prime time and everything is pricey for me. Im at Akbük, small town

simitandchill 4mo

Ahh so it’s humid like Antalya in the summer too?

simitandchill 4mo

I was thinking it would have been drier since it’s in the Aegean

mehmetd 4mo

wayy less humid but still, cant walk before afternoon, and can’t sleep properly without ac

simitandchill 4mo

U mean after the afternoon

Hi Guys, has anybody started this Turkish Tax Residency / 0% Foreign Income Setup already?

kargarisaac 4mo

Hey guys,
I'm gonna be in Istanbul from August. Would be happy to meet :)
I also wanted to ask about the internet in turkey. Any sim card you recommend? Or any recommendation on the Coworking space? Appreciate any help

simitandchill 4mo

highly suggest globalYO for sims and Varedelo for hitting local spots.

simitandchill 4mo

Nope but it’s known

simitandchill 4mo

Check Antalyander he has a good YouTube channel on these details

davidk 4mo

Thanks Mate. Are you living there?

simitandchill 4mo

I’m not but I know many who do

pablo31 4mo

carlycheton 4mo

also down to grab a drink generally with anyone around! 🙂 here for the next 6 months or so at least i expect

halilerkilic 4mo

Hey everyone, if anyone is in Istanbul, we could grab a drink.

kargarisaac 3mo

hey everyone. do you have any recommendation for a coworking place in istanbul?

tsinmanvlad 3mo

Hey everyone, I'll be in Kas 16-20 August. We could go to beach club together if anyone there.

dkarabey 3mo

Hi, I usually go to Kolektif House - Moda branch. You can download their app Koplanet to create day passes and see different locations. Moda branch is right by the sea, they bought an old mansion so the place is beautiful.

There’s also Levent branch of theirs as well as other options like Han Spaces (Nisbetiye one is really nice and comes with a nice smash burger place in front), Workinton, or Cobac.

Enjoy your time in our beautiful Istanbul! 🌻

noelantonio 2mo

unsalkorkmaz 2mo

Hello 👋,
I live in Antalya / Turkey.

thewritingdev 2mo

Ahh I was just there

thewritingdev 2mo

Turkey is amazing need to come back for Scuba training

nezdemkovski 2mo

Hey! Anyone in Alanya/Mahmutlar?

kpizz1 2mo

Hey y'all! I'll be in Turkey next month, and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for finding accommodations in Turkey? We usually use Airbnb, but wasn't sure if there was another platform that works well for anyone there. Thanks in advance!

davidoswald33 2mo

Hey everyone! I’ll be in Istanbul from the 27th onwards — what are the best areas to live? It’s not on the website so thought I’d ask.. thanks in advance

janosch 2mo

I am wondering, if some one staying in Turkey right now - could help me with my Turkish Apple ID ? Logging in again - to renew my subscription

goekhan 2mo

AirBnB is alright. Make sure your space will be where it's exactly advertised to be. That is, cities like Istanbul is huge and preferably livable & enjoyable districts/ neighborhoods have “not-that-fancy” outlier quarters, too, which are home to many AirBnB spaces that arbitrage the given centre of attraction status. Superhosts are mainly OK. Also, 1-2K TRY differences make truly a difference in quality so don't go cheap where you can.

goekhan 2mo

I'd prefer Levent, Bebek, Kuruçeşme, Nişantaşı, Beşiktaş, Cihangir and some adjacent areas first for a few days and settle in the one i'd like. Stay on the European side if you truly have no business on the Asian side since majority of attractions are on the European side. On Asian side, Caddebostan/ Suadiye and the like are OK, also Moda and Fenerbahçe.

kpizz1 2mo

Okay, that's really helpful. Thank you for the info! 🙂

vinayprasadd 2mo

Anyone in Istanbul for a quick catch-up or a drink?

unsalkorkmaz 2mo

Sahibinden is a platform for everything. Airbnb sure is better for the topic but you can consider it as an alternative

kpizz1 2mo

Sweet, thank you!

manumacdonnell 2mo

Hey guys! Wil be in Istanbul on Sep 26 for 6-7 weeks. Looking for a good neighborhood for remote work, cafes, gym, social, but not too loud. Any areas you’d recommend?

mmusasr 2mo

hello

owenshih 1mo

Hi everyone, I'm planning a month-long trip to Turkey.

Do Turkish cafes generally provide power outlets and Wi-Fi, and are there unlimited rooms?

Do you have a recommended list?

I will be staying in the following locations: Istanbul, Felosiye, Kaş, Izmir, Antalya, Ankara.

davidlee 1mo

I’m traveling here also, Istanbul now. Here coffee shop it’s good, offer charge almost.

simitandchill 1mo

Highly suggest using Varedelo for Istanbul and Moda https://varedelo.com/maps?q=istanbul

simitandchill 21d

Hey guys there is someone who is missing in the Kaş Antalya area. If anyone is currently there to spread the word. I know they are working on finding the person. But it helps

simitandchill 21d

https://en.haberler.com/the-young-woman-who-came-to-turkey-vanished-2319212/

mmusasr 18d

alone?

simitandchill 18d

Not sure I would hope not

unsalkorkmaz 11d

Update on her situation;
https://www.turkiyetoday.com/nation/german-tourist-found-dead-after-disappearing-on-turkiyes-lycian-way-3231365

unsalkorkmaz 11d

My biggest n1 tip for you;
DO NOT GO ALONE to anywhere.

simitandchill 11d

Really sad.

unsalkorkmaz 10d

Anywhere that is not 100% safe imho

simitandchill 9d

That’s why I built Varedelo.com

simitandchill 9d

but on a path like that, I would definitely not go solo regardless of technology

simitandchill 8d

Yeah. Even then like sometimes these extreme trips that have to do with being alone or being in a dangerous space just aren’t for me

simitandchill 8d

Usually better to get your views in the day time then just go back to hotel

dkarabey 8d

Idk, I kinda like roaming around at night or very early in the morning where I get to see the cities or the nature fall asleep or wake up. But Lycian Way I also wouldn’t do alone, the real dangers I’ve heard of as a local were mostly about some parts being quite dangerous due to loose rocks etc… I haven’t walked the trail yet and now it looks like a long shot as I have MS & cannot tolerate heat 🫠

brunolemos 7d

Long shot but: anyone in Istanbul coming to Brazil soon-ish?

I left my leather jacket in the IST airport and they found it, it's on Lost and Found. Now I am researching ways to bring it to Brazil, I see I have the option to hire some company but that's expensive so if anyone here is coming to Brazil that would just be simpler and cheaper. Let me know! Thanks.
