Don’t be afraid to travel to Turkey. Turkey is a great country for travellers. For a fraction of a price that you would pay in Europe you are getting beautiful beaches, breathtaking views and gourgeous mountains.
So don’t let the tourist scams discourage you from travelling. Instead use this knowledge to feel more confident when you travel abroad.

@elenazenzolo66892 years agoThank you for your video, i had my bad experiences, although not in turkey. I pay attention to your words: " dont be afraid to be rude" and id="hidden3" scammers pick their targets based on certain criterias, even if you just look kind. I came to the point im wearing dark shades, so, i do not make any eye contact with anyone at all, i do not answer any questions, pretending not to understand: this is nowadays surviving guide, the world is not an honest place, and, what really annoys me, is the actual fact that many tourists are not so rich, but they work hard for saving the money for a well deserved holiday.

@BELOVEDThessaloniki1112 years agoAbout a month ago we went to istanbul. The first taxi driver asked 700 liras to take us from ortakoy to taksim. We turned him down because we knew it id="hidden4" was too much. The second said he would use the taximetre and the final charge was that of about 55 liras. He also got a 20 lira bill as a tip. Istanbul was great and the people also, except perhaps from the people at some restaurants who called us " stingy " just because we didn' t want to buy their cheap parfums.

@allanizniylepunk48222 years agoAs a local from alanya, i will give u all some advice: follow the steps of other turkish locals/local young folk to avoid this. I mean look around yourself for example, firstly don' t get scammed by that chatting personnel who always try to start a chat with u from nowhere and offer you something. Those ankward, shitty guys who always wanna chat when they immediately see u) we generally see what happens: all of them call of u like have a seat lady, have food from here mister or they always call u for a boat tour etc. While u having fun with some service, they generally planning how to bargain your money a little bit more. Of course i wouldn' t say that is all of them are like this, but it would be better if u can be a bit more skeptical to avoid scams. what do turkish locals/young people think about this whole process u wonder? Actually, we feel sad for you. Also, we really get full of cringe so much by seeing that. Don' t listen to them. Don' t play the game with their rule, and don' t lose unfair money. Additionally, if you see more tourists rather than locals in a restaurant, for example, and if that restaurant or bar is located in the alanya dock region, you probably gonna be scammed. Also, don' t be fooled by those other awkward guys behaving like monkeys or dancing like idiots to entertain you. I am sorry to say this but, while they are acting as a friend to you, again, they generally thinking the money or. They having ugly chat between themselves about your lovers and wives. Because they are mainly coming from uneducated parts of the country for just to work in summer in alanya. As i mention above, they are generally not locals of alanya, and if you pay attention most of the locals are missing, you can' t find locals at their bars, restaurants, or other places. I hope this long writing helps. ...Expand190

@sabinas19152 years agoMy bf is from canada and i must tell, its a horrible experience. Every person in istanbul feel like its his obligation to scam him. Staring from the id="hidden29" taxi drivers and then to infinity. About the taxi drivers yes they are official and no that means nothing! They will scam you with a smile. We took an official taxi from sabiha gken airport in istanbul and the driver said that we have to pay him 200 liras for the speed road. We had the same issue three months earlier. We agreed cuz its normal to pay for the speed roads. But i thought it was strange one guy took 100 liras and the other took 200 liras. So i called 153 (authority that deals with such things) and they told me that client has to pay 33 liras in total for that. 33 liras! And in two cafes we were also almost scammed. On one of them the waiter just put the service fee into the bill. But i know its wrong. You can leave the tip, but only if you want. In another cafe the guy came up to my bf and said you have to give me the tip, cuz its not included into the bill. Both of the cafes were in good districts where locals go. One in nisantasi and another one is in besiktas. One is called kruvasan and another is called minoa akaretler.
