5 Turkey Travel Fails I Wish I’d Avoided

Spent a month in Turkey with friends and, wow, learned a lot the hard way! Here are my top 5 rookie mistakes: 1) Didn’t realize Istanbul has TWO airports—cue chaos. 2) Exchanged cash at the airport (ouch, those rates). 3) Drank way too much çay (Turkish tea = sneaky caffeine overload). 4) Overpaid for souvenirs at the Grand Bazaar—should’ve waited for better deals elsewhere. 5) Had my dried fruit confiscated at US customs.
