Why use an eSIM in Turkey?
Turkey pulls you in fast — mosques at dawn, bazaars in the afternoon, Bosphorus rooftops at midnight. With an eSIM you activate data at Istanbul's new airport, open Google Maps on the metro to Sultanahmet, and grab a BiTaksi cab without hunting for a Turkish SIM kiosk with a one-hour queue.
Coverage — Turkey
4G/5G across Istanbul (both European and Asian sides), Ankara, Izmir, Antalya, Bodrum, and the Cappadocia region. Works on main highways, on Göreme balloon flights at typical altitudes, and on ferries between Istanbul and the Princes' Islands.

The best option for your trip
Turkey has the rare combo of being huge and cheap to travel — intercity buses are comfortable, the fast train links Ankara to Konya, and domestic flights cost less than taxis elsewhere. An eSIM lets you bounce between cities without thinking, because the last thing you want mid-bazaar is Google Translate cutting out.
