Laundry

Çamaşır Yıkama

Doing the washing may be a problem for tourists because not many laundries are available for public use.  Each house has its own washing machine as a consequence of the marketing policy of companies who produce these machines.  Besides all big hotels also some small hotels have laundry services. There are also a couple of laundries in localized touristic areas. Please check if it has a laundry service before you book your hotel. Otherwise you have to do it yourself  by hand in an old fashion way! Dry cleaners are also available anywhere except some really small towns.
