AVOID These Scams In Istanbul ????????
With peak travel season coming to Istanbul and Turkey, make sure you avoid these scams in Istanbul to keep you safe and protect your money. The lemon street vendor tried to cheat his way more than once into fooling me into buying more items than I originally wanted. Showing he only has big bills and no small change is an easy way street scammers in Istanbul try to cheat you into buying more items than you originally want. Also big hotels such as this Crown plaza IHG are doing false advertisement. Hotels should inform their guest that certain facilities are not working before booking. Most big chain hotels I checked in Turkey warn you on their website that their Hamman and gym is closed which is why I didn't stay with them and chose this hotel which I thought had everything up and running but apparently not. This is false advertisement at its finest and management didn't even care at all when I talked to them about the issue. Istanbul is a great place to visit, rich in food and culture however, keep your eyes open and stay alert to avoid silly scams in Istanbul.
Watch this video about adventures you can have in Istanbul.

In this video, you will see a tourist scam in Istanbul. It is based on my visit to famous tourist places in Istanbul like Taksim Square, Istiklal street and Sultan Ahmet. I visited there in September 2018. During my visit to the Istiklal street, I was approached by two people who pretended to be a tourist. Watch this video to know how did they approached me and tried to get friendly. They asked me to join for bear, which I refused. I was already warned about this by the staff at the hostel where I stayed. The same thing happened with me on the next day in Sultan Ahmet, another popular tourist place in Istanbul. Usually, these people target Solo tourists. After watching this video, I am sure you will come to know about Dos and Donts while travelling in Istanbul and how to handle such situations.
