I'm Abdur Rehman, and I live in Istanbul with my family. I work from home, and every month or two we take the laptop and head somewhere new in Turkey, usually by car, since I love exploring and driving.

I started Turkey Travel HQ to share honest, up-to-date travel information, after seeing how easily visitors here overpay, rely on outdated advice or struggle with the language. Everything on the site comes from places I have visited myself, from the famous sights to quieter corners, and I update the guides whenever ticket prices, fares or opening hours change.

Happy to help with questions about Istanbul and travelling around Turkey.
