Istanbul Warnings Or Dangers

road traffic: Minubus Drivers !!
  • Tip Rating:
  • traffic is horrible in Istanbul.
    my suggest is dont jump front of cars if there is no traffic lights.
    Mostly of drivers are driving like a crazy like they have no rules, especially Minubus ( we just have it Turkey) they can be with yellow color or with any color. Bigger than Cab smaller than Bus.

    hopefully, we wont have it anymore in 4-5 yrs untill the subway project will be done in anatolia side.

    warnings for women: Robbers
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Be careful if someone is telling you "i know better places,let me show you" tell you to follow him.
    Especially people with eastern Turkey accent.(You can find out their accent's sounds like arabic or speaking from the throat while they are speaking)
    They can threat you with a gun ! or something else.!

    If you don't know this person/people,if you think they are following you just ask for help .
    You can even enter to a restaurant to ask for a help if you can not see any cops around.

    These people can speak English (w/ very bad accent or grammar).As I said before, do not follow anyone you don't know!

    To find a closer Police Offices in the area you are,just click on the name of place,you will see addresses and phone numbers.

    ATTENTION PLS :Since this article misunderstood by some people (and they are right,i should add something to fix) This kind of situations are very rarely happening.I just wanted write in case if this rare situation finds you.In General its safe the city but like all many metropolitan cities,you have more risk compare to little towns.
