How to recognise Türkiye from the road
Drives on the right
Minarets, red-tiled roofs and wide dry plateaus. Türkiye bridges Europe and Asia, and its alphabet is easy to recognise.
What to look for
1
Turkish letters
Look for ı (a dotless i), ğ, ş and ç.
2
TR on the plate
Plates are white with a blue band on the left marked TR.
3
Minarets
Mosques with slim, pencil-shaped minarets stand in almost every town and village.
