Turkey is a secular nation, but away from the beaches it is conservative
and you should dress accordingly. Turkish women are often very
glamorous, but they do not wear skimpy clothes. Dressing like a local
will stop you getting undue attention and make you feel more comfortable.
Generally, shoulders and knees should be covered, especially
in villages or major cities. Travelers should not visit religious sites
wearing shorts, short skirts or sleeveless tops. Women should cover
their heads in mosques.
Sturdy leather hiking boots are recommended for hiking and for exploring
historical sites. Do not scrimp on your boots, as there is so
much to see on foot. Take one pair of sandals, sneakers or shoes that
can be worn during the day and evening. Snowshoes may be necessary
for Central and Eastern regions in the winter.
