Wanted to share current pricing for Turkey based on my recent visit.
Short Time (1-2 hours):
Budget: $30-50 / Mid-range: $50-80 / Premium: $80-150+
Long Time (overnight):
Usually 2-3x the short time rate. Negotiate upfront.
Tips:
Round up or add 10% for good service.
What are others paying currently?

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.
