I know I am but I'm not getting responses in Holidays
We're going to Istanbul at the end of June. Two DC aged 8 and 3.
All recommendations welcome.
What clothes should we wear?

Apologies for the poll.
I suppose the q would be
Aibu to look for holiday advice in aibu
Yabu - not a suitable topic.
Yanbu - it gets the most views so why not

Wouldn't touch the place with a bargepole. Not a useful opinion. Sorry.

Same here. I wouldn't go to any country with an iffy record when it comes to human rights.

Same clothes you would take to Italy or Greece in summer. If you plan to visit mosques, take something to cover hair, arms and legs

If you’ve got a date in Constantinople he’ll be waiting in Istanbul.

Loved it, especially all the cats 😺 wear what you would normally on holiday if its not too revealing, take a head cover pashmina or something if you plan on going into the blue mosque or similar, the markets are worth a visit too, and take the ferry over to the asian side.

I loved Istanbul the couple of times I’ve been there. I just wore my normal clothes, but I’m someone who naturally wears long, loose clothes in warm weather. I was probably mostly in linen trousers and blouses. I had a scarf with me to cover my hair in mosques.
