Handy Apps which everyone must have to roam around Istanbul

🚕 BiTaksi: This is a reliable taxi-hailing app and I prefer this over Uber in Turkey because I’ve personally had bad experiences with Uber multiple times. Local cab drivers don’t really go by the metre, so don’t bother getting a cab on the road!

Yemeksepeti: This is a food delivery app you can use on the days you’re too tired to step out for a meal. It’s basically the Swiggy of Turkey.

Metro Istanbul: This app is great if you’re using trams & metros as it provides real-time information on schedules and routes.

Google Translate: This is an app you HAVE to download and have handy. A lot of locals are not very fluent in English, so it really helps to be able to talk into the app and have it get translated when you’re trying to have a conversation!

Marti: This is if you want to rent an electric scooter to explore Istanbul, which can be quite fun!
