Official taxis in Turkey are yellow. There are also mini cab services in major cities. Most taxis (taksi) have meters, but it’s wise to check the price before a long journey. In larger cities, you should give the exact address of the destination, and try to note landmarks too. Alternatively, there are dolmus, minibuses for journeys over short distances. The fare and destination will be displayed on the front window. You can get off anywhere on the route by shouting Musait bir yerde! (mew-sa-eet beer yer-de!) or İnebilirmiyim? (ee-nuhr-bee-leer-mee-yeem?)

A good way of experiencing Istanbul is to take a boat across the Bosphorus. You can purchase tokens (jeton) for the boats from machines located at the terminal where you board. You can also use your Istanbul public transport card (İstanbulkart), which can also be bought from kiosks (gişe) or vending machines at the terminal. Şehir Hatlari and Istanbul Fast Ferries (İDO) provide timetables and routes for boats and ferries.
