Connecting
to the
Internet in Turkey is
pretty easy and inexpensive.
Most
hotels, inns, pensions and hostels
either have a computer dedicated
to the Web and email for guests'
use, or the owner will allow you
to use an office computer.
If
you travel with your own laptop computer,
most hotels, particularly
the small and medium-sized ones—offer
fast (ADSL) wireless Internet
access (Wifi) in
at least one public space, such as
the lobby or lounge. More and more
hotels have repeaters that convey
the signal to all the guest rooms
as well.
Wifi
access is
usually free in smaller hotels and
inns. Even cave
rooms in Cappadocia and tree
houses in Olimpos on
Turkey's Mediterranean
coast have Internet connections!
Cafés and
some restaurants in
the largest cities
are also setting up Wifi access
for their customers. Major
Turkish airports have
Wifi (though it
is not free) and
it's showing up in ever more public
buildings and public spaces. Istanbul's Hippodrome (At
Meydanı) has free public Wifi, and
it even works!
You may have to ask the hotel staff
for the password to access their system.
Virtually
all luxury hotels have Ethernet
ports (RJ-45)
for high-speed connections.
Some intercity
bus companies offer Wifi on selected
routes and bus types.
