Staying connected in Istanbul

Straddling two continents, Istanbul is grand bazaars, ferry timetables and BiTaksi rides — with real-time currency checks before you haggle. Dense coverage across both the European and Asian sides, ferries included.

Your Istanbul eSIM runs on Turkey's own networks — Turkcell · Vodafone TR — so you get the same coverage locals do, at a fraction of what the big-name eSIM apps charge. Install before you fly, scan a QR, and you're online the moment you land.
