Problems / Breakdowns
3x flat front tyres of the XTR (1x loose ventile, 2x holes because of helpfull mechanics…we had to buy three new tubes because of this. More to that you can find in the blog entry)
Road Conditions
Very good road conditions, many roads are two-lane (we never used the highway)
Paperwork
Visa: We don’t need a visa for Turkey

Carnet de Passage: Not requierd for most, but best check with your Carnet company as the carnet is requierd for some countries

Insurance: Our green insurance card covered us, but not all green insurance cards include whole Turkey, so check before you leave
Notable
Turkish people love their chai (tea) and zigarettes, they are quite good drivers, are very hospitable and very helpfull!
Important information
Here some very country specific information:
- Be aware that big parts of Turkey are above 2000 m.a.s.l therefore make sure you have some warm layers with you
- Check the situation in the south east of the country, as you might not be able to go everywhere
- Air BnB is a great way to find cheap accommodation
