Turkish Apps Everyone Should Know

Turkey has its own ecosystem of apps that make life much easier. We've rounded up the services everyone living here actually uses. Save and keep them handy.

🚌 Public Transport

AntalyaKart and İstanbulkart — public transport. In the app you can find the nearest stops and routes, see the transit map and check arrival times.

🚕 Taxi

Yandex Go and BiTaksi — book a taxi in a couple of taps, fare shown upfront by the meter. Pay in cash (lira) or by card through the driver's terminal.

🍔 Food Delivery

Yemeksepeti — the biggest app for delivery from restaurants and cafés. Pay by card or cash to the courier. It also has fast grocery delivery built in (Banabi).

Getir — a super-app: the main Getir for groceries from dark stores, GetirYemek for restaurant food, GetirSu for drinking water by the gallon.

🛒 Groceries

Migros Sanal Market — the Migros online supermarket: put together a proper grocery basket with home delivery, just like a regular supermarket. For urgent orders — Migros Hemen (express delivery).

🛍 Marketplaces

Trendyol — the Turkish Amazon. The country's main marketplace: clothing, electronics, cosmetics, home goods — everything, with fast delivery and returns. Hepsiburada is the second largest, strong in electronics and major appliances. Amazon.com.tr is here too.

Cards issued in Russia don't work on Turkish marketplaces. To pay here and on international sites, use a CoinPlata card — top up in rubles, spend online in any currency. Order your card → @CoinPlata_bot.

🏠 Classifieds

Sahibinden — the Turkish Craigslist. The main classifieds site: renting and buying apartments, cars, second-hand goods, jobs, services. Most apartments in Turkey are found right here — a must-have if you're renting. For second-hand clothes there's a separate app, Dolap.

🏛 Government Services

e-Devlet — Turkish government services. The government portal (turkiye.gov.tr): residence-permit status, tax number, fines, health records and doctor appointments (e-Nabız), official documents. Log in with an e-Devlet password, issued at a PTT post office with your passport. You can't get far in Turkey without it.

💊 Pharmacies

Eczane — pharmacists are usually happy to help you find the right product. At night and on weekends every district has one pharmacy on duty — search "nöbetçi eczane" + your district.
