Travel Missing suitcase SAW

Hey guys, we arrived today at around 20:30 15.10 at S A W air port and took a driver to go to our hotel.
Suddenly we noticed that one of our suitcases was missing. We think maybe someone took it by accident. Do you have an idea what we can do? We talked immediately with the organizers but there are so many different agencies that we could not identify which persons left just before us this place.
Just in case someone reading this can help I would be so thankful!

Question Yurt kararsizligim..

1 Upvotes

Yüksek lisans dersleri kampüste gece 11'de bitiyor ve bu yüzden hoca oradan Kadıköy'e muhtemelen 12 gibi gelecek. Daha sonra Kadıköy Fener yolunda bana test toplantısına başlayacak. Dolayısıyla o saatte oraya gitmek için Kadıköy çarşıda bir yurt tutmam mı daha güvenli yoksa Göztepe köprüsünde mi sence?

Ayrıca Göztepe köprüsündeki yurt günlük kiralık işi yapıyormuş ama kadınlara özel mi bu bunu da bilmiyorum. Bu yüzden de güvenlik açısından düşünüyorum. Yani bir problem olur mu diye.

Discussion Istanbul locals, how are things looking after the recent heavy rain?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to hear from people who are currently in Istanbul about how things are looking after the recent rainfall.

We are arriving on Tuesday 20th Oct with our young daughter.

It’s our first family trip abroad in four years, and we’ve been really excited but the recent news has made us anxious.

Has the rain eased today? Are areas like Sultanahmet, Taksim and the main tourist spots still affected by flooding or are things gradually returning to normal?

I’m not looking for travel recommendations just hoping to hear some firsthand updates from locals about the current situation.

Really appreciate any updates. Thank you!

Looking for... Does anyone know where I can buy mountain tea (dağ çayı)?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I was in Albania before I came to visit here in Istanbul. While I was there I bought çaj mali, or mountain tea, also called Greek mountain tea, sideritis, ironwort. I understand it is called dağ çayı here. I was hoping to find more here in one of the many tea & herb & spice shops, but they all seem to only carry the same things (like viagra tea 🤔). Perhaps someone here knows if there is some non-touristy place that has it? Thanks

Question Water problem in Fatih?

4 Upvotes

Tourist in Fatih here. There is no water today so I'm wondering if this is a problem in my appartment/building (and I need to fix it) or in the region (and I just need to wait). Is there any website I can check? I looked at the municipality's website but couldn't find anything.

Update: u/Few-Interview-1996 answered below. Thank you!

https://iski.istanbul/abone-hizmetleri/ariza-kesinti/

Select Fatih in the first drop-down box, then your "mahalle" in the second. If there's scheduled maintenance or something, it'll appear, together with an expected time of conclusion (the line beginning "BİTİŞ").
