What to pack for Türkiye in July

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

Tap water isn't safe here. A filter bottle beats buying plastic twice a day.

This country runs on Type C or F. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

Fits the overhead on every airline that matters. Skip the checked-bag line entirely.

For the passport, the chargers, and the one dry pair of socks.

It's stinger season. Locals swim in these, so should you.

Coastal wind cuts through a t-shirt fast.

Anything heavier than linen is a mistake at 84°F.

UV hits 11 here. Long sleeves beat reapplying sunscreen every hour.

For temples, mosques, and churches that check at the door.

Cold water at 3pm is worth the weight.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.
