Youth Hostels
Youth hostels are not common in Turkey, especially once you leave
Istanbul. Pansions are so reasonably priced that there is really no
need for hostels. Some student dormitories, known as yurt, cater for
short term summer lodgers (aged 18-26 with IYHF, IYC or ISIC cards)
between 15 July-10 September but these are likely to be cramped,
somewhat dreary and not centrally located.
Information can be obtained from the Yurtkur General Directorate
(Telephone: 312-431 11 00).
