1. A Russian driver's license is fine, international driving license is not required.
2. The Turks drive the same way as the Russians: some carefully, others fly as if on fire. The second is more. At the same time, Turkish drivers do not have the habit of giving way to pedestrians. They can fly in front of your nose, even if you stepped on a pedestrian crossing.
Gasoline in Turkey is expensive, but the roads are very good.

And Ukrainian rights fit?

I have an old-style ID card from 2010, will this work?
аватар AllOverTheWorld
I have a 2000 license and never had a problem.

They are quite satisfied with Russian rights: that of a rental office, that of traffic cops (there was an experience of communication). They drive normally, it was only infuriating that the turn signals did not turn on. In the eastern part of Turkey (Kurdistan), pedestrians are natural sheep, jumping out under the wheels anywhere.

Rights are also 2010.

Your rights will be checked when crossing the border - and all that you have will fit. Gasoline in Turkey today costs a little more than 1 euro, which is the lowest price of all European countries, only lower in Ukraine. The roads are excellent, the pedestrians are different, but the vast majority want to live happily ever after, the drivers are different, but kind, not bloodthirsty, overtaking often honk to get attention. They drive fast, but not many managed to overtake me. For more than 10,000 km in Turkey, I saw two accidents - a hit on a cow near Babaeski and a coup on the roof without consequences for anyone on a serpentine near Cirali.
Olgaolga153 is right - drivers do not like to let pedestrians pass at the crossing, although the latter, as you know, created the world. Good luck to you !

"which is the lowest price of all European countries, only lower in Ukraine"
Come on! In Russia, in any way lower))).

ollennka, I began to forget about your country.
аватар ollennka
)))) Original, given that gasoline and other petroleum products account for half of Ukrainian imports from Russia.
аватар Igor_m
ollennka, so it is necessary, thus we help Kemerovo and Pskov children not to starve.
аватар ollennka
Well, Kemerovo is still possible, but there is definitely no refinery in Pskov)))).
аватар Igor_m
You are right, the Norwegians help children in Pskov.

Igor_m, don’t be offended, you just sounded too funny about cheap “Ukrainian” gasoline, I couldn’t miss the chance to scoff on this topic. Well, it's like "Belarusian" shrimp for Russians, it's hard to perceive without humor.
аватар ollennka
Well, I also remembered the topic. Accidents, unfortunately, I saw, including quite soft-boiled. All of them were in the mountains on serpentines, so be careful. In addition, in the mountains, the rock sometimes crumbles, protective nets are not installed everywhere (and this will be unrealistic), once such a stone struck me, the engine oil all leaked out.
Otherwise, Turkish roads are good: excellent markings, signs are well placed, they put asphalt on the conscience, and not in such a way as to launder money)).
Drivers are generally temperamental, and they can honk if you are very stupid. But! The girls behind the wheel are very kind, they help)).

They described everything correctly, the only traffic in Istanbul is a little "chaotic", I didn’t drive there myself, but it was sometimes dumb next to the driver, plus there are dofiga and more kamikaze pedestrians, they cross the doggo with "closed eyes", I saw worse conditions only in Cairo.
