Last time I went to Turkey was 2015 and I seem to recall we had to get some Visa thing before we flew out. Is that still the case does anyone know?

No they got rid in 2020

just came to my mind...
I told you in my previous posts that you may use credit card everywhere. no cash needed.

but no alcohol in stadiums in turkey. problably they will not make an exception for the final. i will check.
but no pubs, stores etc, near the stadium.

but there will probably turkish guys (mobile) selling beer near the stadium. thats how we drink near Galatasaray Stadium. So you may hold some cash (turkish lira) for that purpose on matchday.

Anyway, i will write a long post 2 weeks later; mentioning everything.
also 2nd round elections next week. i will keep you informed.
take care.

Have you any idea how we would travel back to the city centre after the game?
