Hello everyone,

We'll be travelling for awhile this summer, and will need to do some laundry. I'm sure the hotel will offer to take it for us, but it is probably expensive? Perhaps there are places (or businesses) that specialize in clothes washing that are more economical, do you know? We have 4 people, so it is a lot to do by hand in the hotel room.

Thanks for sharing your help!

We will be in Istanbul with our four month old baby next month. Do taxis have access to car seats? Can we request this? What is the best way to travel in Istanbul with a baby? Thank you!

I was stationed in the USAF in Turkey 1958-1960 and 1961-1963. Was there several times on temporary duty (TDY) after that. There was once a restaurant near Taksim Square called Abdulah's. It was famous for its lobster dinners. Does anyone know if it still exists? Thanks, Yusuf.

I have tasted Turkish Airlines hazelnuts several times, and I am very impressed! But it is not enough. Do you know if I can buy it on board or even at the airport? If it is not for sale, where can I buy good hazelnut at the airport? Which brand? Last time I visited (transit), I asked from several vendors from different shops, but they had only mixed nuts, almonds, and Turkish delights :-(

Hi everybody, I´d like to know which is the most convenient way to travel from Istanbul to Cappadocia (bus, train, etc.)
I searched some flights but they seem expensive to me (around U$ 290 one way ticket)
Thanks.

Hi, which area do you recommend to stay?

How safe is it to visit the city this week, the foreign office's advice is very vague. Any advice from those who are in the country or about to visit would be appreciated.
Thanks

I don't have a lot of time to plan this trip, we're heading to Istanbul for a few days in July and I want to book a hotel and get that out of the way, does anyone have a recommendation for a comfortable hotel in Sultanahmet? I can't remember where we stayed last time but in any event it wasn't a great hotel. I don't need luxury, just clean, comfortable and convenient to the sites. I've found one near Topaki for 89E per night reserved tentatively but just thought I'd check and see if anyone else had a personal recommendation. Thanks!

Hello, given the unrest, is it still wise for me to spend 6 days in Istanbul (24-30 June 2013) ?
