 Turkey Packing List 

Once you have finalized all that you need to, as regards your itinerary and booked your activities and adventures, it is essential to have a packing strategy in place. Here are the items that you should pack:

Travel Documents

• Passport: ensure that your passport is valid at least six months before the end of your trip to avoid immigration issues. If your passport expires while on your trip, it can become a full-blown issue. You want to avoid that!
• Visa: get your ticket from Turkey’s e-website, find other necessary visa information, and find out if you need a visa to enter the country. You may need to get your access 48 hours before your travel.

• Travel Insurance: purchasing travel insurance for your trip is highly recommended to cover any unexpected injuries, illness, or in cases where you have to cancel your trip unexpectedly. Research and go with the travel insurance that best suits you and your expectations.

• Prescription and Meditation: It is essential to take your medication on your trip if you have any. If you have a doctor’s prescription, it is necessary to go with a copy you might need to show on arrival in Turkey.

Luggage

Going with the minimum amount of luggage possible when travelling to Turkey is advisable. Here are some of the reasons you should carry mid-size luggage on your trip:

• When you are moving from one location to another with smaller luggage, it is more convenient to do all airport runs.

• Transportation will be made more accessible because going through public transit with heavier luggage will be challenging.

Mid-size luggage is the ideal luggage to consider while travelling, but if you love to buy souvenirs, it is essential to consider that while choosing your luggage size. 

Shoes 

Comfortable shoes are underrated! If you want to enjoy your trip to Turkey, go in comfortable shoes. Turkey is a magical country with stunning landscapes, and exploring these beautiful places is a must. You will walk a lot,  so you want comfortable shoes to avoid blisters or sore feet.

Create Space In Your Luggage

This is one hack we all need when we are travelling. Leave an extra space for what you intend to purchase on your trip. You will have so many opportunities to shop for various beautiful items. If you are big on shopping, consider carrying a foldable duffle bag as a backup.

Clothing 

The weather in Turkey can be very inconsistent; therefore, your exact location and time of the year determine the temperature. During fall and spring, Istanbul can be on the cool side, while on the Mediterranean, things are hot, and enjoying the beachy atmosphere. Have this at the back of your mind while selecting outfits for your trip

Scarf: if you are a woman, you may need to cover your hair while visiting religious sites, your scarf or shawl will come in handy. You could take it off and keep it in your bag afterwards when you are done. It saves you more money to go with yours than to buy when you need it there.

Long pants, skirt, or dress: also, if your site seeing extends to religious grounds, it is a great option to stick with clothes that completely cover you up.

Cross Bag or day pack: this will come in very handy. This bag will help you carry essential items you need while touring the city.

Sunglasses: sunglasses are necessary to pack on your trip to Turkey because, depending on your specific location, you can have a bright sunny day. Other clothing item includes:

• Socks

Gear

Here are some essential gear you should take along with you on your trip to Turkey:

Power adapter: ensure you carry the correct charge that works effectively in marriage. Also, pay attention to all your devices. 

Portable charger: having a small portable one with you throughout your trip is essential. They will surely come in handy. Nothing is as annoying as having a low battery or losing your phone.

Door alarm: if you like solo trips or unavoidably have to be alone on your journey, you must consider using a door alarm for security reasons.

Toiletries 

This may sound untrue, but going with your toiletries, especially toilet paper, is vital. Public toilets in Turkey may not have toilet paper in them. If you intend to look out for your body and avoid issues, please pack toilet paper and your essentials. Some other toiletries you can come with include:

Planning Your Outfits In Turkey

Turkey is a very stylish country with dressers who are very particular about their appearance. Below are several ways to plan your day and several ways to design your outfits so you can be organized for your trip:

• Plan outfits for each day and evening based on your destination and weather
• Use each item a couple of times, about 2 -3 times. You can wear it with different things in your wardrobe.
• Choose colours that can be worn interchangeably and stand out against the local terrain. For instance, in Cappadocia, it is never advisable to wear beige because you will most likely blend into the earthy tones of the landscape.

Whatever you decide to wear, the most important thing is to feel comfortable in what you are wearing! 

Remember, you are a guest; please be modest as much as possible and be sensitive to their culture. Enjoy your trip!
