How long is the flight to Turkey?
It takes 3 1/2 to 4 hours depending on which airport you are flying to.
Do I need an adapter to use my electrical appliances in Turkey?
Yes, Turkish mains electricity is 220 volts AC, so you'll need a two pin adapter.
What about the water?
Although the tap water is generally chlorinated in resorts and cities, it's best to stick to bottled mineral water which is on sale at most local shops and supermarkets. If you're staying for a long time find out where the locals get their water. There will probably be a water shop (where you can refill large containers) nearby, or in some resorts large containers are delivered to your door.
