Info about Istanbul gay life
Many things are very modern
in Turkey like in western Europe but many things are still very different. In Turkey gay culture is completly different
than USA and western Europe. Turkey is only the moslem country which gay action is not illegal and like most of islamic
countries, almost every man would have sex with another man. in Turkish culture actually in moslem culture if two men are
having sex with eachother that does not mean that they are gay it is just part of hidden culture and they just do it and mostly
they dont talk about it. Usually gay mean someone feminine and passive. Istanbul is the biggest city in Turkey
and the best city in the middle east and eastern Europe for gay men to visit. There are many gay clubs, bars,
discos, hamams, saunas and cruising areas in istanbul. There are also some gay movies in istanbul but the things you can do
there are limited, you just can sit next to someone and touch him or sometime people give each other blow job too.
Taksim
park is most known cruising park in istanbul, lately because of bad economical stuation in Turkey, they opened several gay
escort boys bars in istanbul and most of the boys go to those bars are straight and they just want to be top. Most of the
hotels in istanbul dont let you to bring someone to your room, there are many cheap hotels in taksim square and many gay men
go there when they meet someone to ahve fun with. Legal age is 18 in Turkey for gay or straight. another thing in Turkey is
that young and old people are not so separated like in western Europe or in America. in many bars young and older men
are mixed and also very often a young and on old men are in relationship. Turkish and Kurdish men are very friendly and like
foreigners. Ahmet Eser |

Where to stay in Istanbul
There are four main hotels districts in istanbul
1-Taksim
2- Sultanahmet
3-Sirkeci,
Eminonu
4-Aksaray, Laleli, Sehzadebasi. -
Sirkeci (district 4) is a business area and in the evening and night it is
very quiet and almost no one is around and it is not very good area to walk in the evening. -
Aksaray area (district 3)
Most of the Russian and Romanian prostitutes in istanbul are staying in that area.
Taksim and Sultanahmet are the best
areas to stay in istanbul. There are many nice old hotels in Sultanahmet, most of those hotels were old ottoman family houses
and lately they have been renovated and turned into hotels. the good thing about staying in sultanahmet is taht it is close
to most of the historical sites, and bed thing about it is too touristical prices are little higher and in the evening is
is far from the night life and little boring in teh evening and night,
Taksim is the heart of istanbul and here you can
see more local life, especially if you like night life and social life you should saty in Taksim. All of gay bars, clubs,
hamams are in Taksim square area and Istiklal street is the first pedestrian street in Istanbul and Turkey. it is the main
street in taksim where all the clubs bars restaurants are and it is busy untill 4:00-5:00 am.
There are no any gay hotels
in istanbul, for safety reasons mostly you are not alowed to bring your Turkish guest to your room in Turkey . That does not
mean that a tourist and a Turkish person can not stay in same room together. it is definitely no problem to stay with your
turkish freiend in any hotel, if you chek in together with your Turkish friend or if you register him too at the hotel. in
no any hotel in istanbul or anywhere else in Turkey you will have any problem or will be not welcome because you are gay.
if you want to book your hotel online, dont to it through any travel agencies in istanbul or through any other web page other
than hotel's own web page. Just go to hotel's own web page and make your reservation directly by the hotel, this is also cheapest
and safest way. |
