How to Dial a Turkish Number

Istanbul has two area codes: 212 for the European side and 216 for the Asian side. Turkish mobile numbers begin with 05XX — drop the leading zero when dialling from abroad.
Type the full number into the Give a ring dial pad starting with +90 and the app handles the rest.
🇹🇷 Surprising & Funny Facts About Turkey
One City, Two Continents
Istanbul is the only major city in the world that sits on two continents simultaneously. The Bosphorus strait divides it into a European side and an Asian side — and a commuter ferry crosses between them in about 20 minutes. Over 15 million people live in this dual-continent metropolis, making it the largest city in Europe by population.
Turkey Invented the Coffee House
The world's first coffee houses — called kıraathane — opened in Istanbul (then Constantinople) around 1554, more than a century before London's first coffee house. Ottoman officials tried to ban them multiple times because people kept skipping work to argue politics over coffee. Sound familiar?
Tulips Come from Turkey, Not the Netherlands
The tulip was cultivated in the Ottoman Empire for centuries before Dutch merchants brought bulbs to Holland in the 1590s. The word "tulip" itself comes from the Turkish "tülbend" (turban), describing the flower's shape. The Dutch tulip mania of 1637 — when a single bulb sold for ten times a craftsman's annual salary — was built entirely on a Turkish flower.
Oil Wrestling Has Been Going Since 1346
Yağlı güreş (oil wrestling) is Turkey's national sport and the oldest continuously held sporting event in the world. Contestants slather themselves head-to-toe in olive oil, then try to pin each other. The Kırkpınar tournament in Edirne has taken place every single year since 1346 — through wars, plagues, and empires. No other sporting event comes close to that streak.
Istanbul's Cats Are Official Citizens
Istanbul is home to an estimated 100,000–125,000 stray cats, and the city treats them as communal pets rather than pests. Cats appear in mosques, restaurants, and courts; shopkeepers feed them; vets treat them for free. A 2016 documentary called Kedi (Cat) about Istanbul's street cats became an international art-house hit — because the cats genuinely run the place.
Noah's Ark May Have Landed Here
Mount Ararat — a dormant volcano visible from Yerevan, Armenia — sits entirely within Turkish territory and reaches 5,137 metres. It is the place traditionally identified in Armenian and Christian tradition as the resting place of Noah's Ark. The Turkish military controlled the mountain for decades during the Cold War, making it one of the most inaccessible famous peaks on Earth.
