Use local bus, or local dolmuş mini buses, taxi is expensive and can be cheat you about pay. Even you want to use taxi always want to open taximeter, if they say say broken something they will cheat you.

Ah thank you! Are you from Istanbul? As a tourist it was a bit hard to figure out how dolmus works but heard indeed that it is one of the cheapest options. I used Uber for taxi and there was no issue, the taxi driver was also very nice person :)

@@ExploringYukari Yeah taxi drivers don't want uber but soon a Turkish company will solve that problem I guess, they are talking with government now. That company name is Martı mayse you say their scooters on the street. I live in İzmir. İf you ask people people will try help you, also you can use tram, metro, metro bus, ship too for cheap options. But when you reach a stop, ask people, 😅 last point if you find right dolmus, tell to dolmus driver where you wanna go and say let me know please, he will tell you when arrive your final location, try to sit near to driver. Tram is best choice because tram generally going directly historical areas

Interesting, I hope Turkiye will find a way which both taxi and drivers are happy with. I haven't had a chance to visit Izmir but heard great thing about the city. And makes sense that it is better for us to ask driver to tell us where we want to get off from the dolmus. Thank you for all the tips!

@@ExploringYukari You are welcome, have a safe travel and hope you will leave with nice memories :) İzmir is a more calm and more open mind city in Türkiye, city center normal nothing extra... but city villages, districts beautiful especially summer days and for vacations. İf you want to see history İstanbul, Bursa, İzmir, Aydın, Antalya, Mardin, Şanlıurfa, Diyarbakır, Çanakkale or all around Türkiye İf you want too see views you should rent a car and trip to around Türkiye İf you need vacation İzmir, Aydın, Antalya, Mersin, Balıkesir, Çanakkale İf you want to taste of food Adana, Gaziantep, İzmir, Trabzon, Şanlıurfa, Hatay, Konya, Diyarbakır or all around Türkiye İf you search green area like Switzerland, you should visit Black Sea region cities Aegean region vegetable, meat, fish, fruits, vine, alcohols - Black sea region fish, vegetables, meat, fruits, nuts something - Mediterrenian region pastry, vegetables, pastry, fish - Middle Anatolia region Grain, meat, pastry - Eastern Anatolia meat, milk and milk products, stuffed dishes, honey, pastry, Fruits But you can find some dishes from all regions in all cities. Especially in Istanbul, there are cuisines from all over the world. Food changes in every city in Turkey, even though the appearance is the same, the taste also changes and unfortunately Turkish cuisine is not well known in the world. These people, such as Armenians, Greeks and Lebanese, who lived under the protection of the Turks, migrated to places such as America, England, Germany and France with plans to betray our ancestors, and on the other hand, their families sell to them our cultures, marketed Turkish food and culture, but it was as if it was their culture, not the Turks'. But if you ask, they will say that the Turks tried to assimilate us. They made a lot of money through our culture and they are still making money. The most famous example is Greek yoghurt. If you have the chance to visit these countries one day, you will realize that they have the same culture as the Turks. :)
