All Kinde Of The Toilet In Turkey

Traveling to a foreign country is very enjoyable because you can get to know the customs of the people of that country and the historical places of that country. But, you should get some information about that country before traveling to.

Toilets are one of the topics that people do less research on before traveling to another country because they think that all toilets in the world are the same, but I must point out that there are different toilets in different countries, which you should learn about.

In this article from the Travelling topic website, I intend to introduce you to all the toilet models in Turkey so you can get complete information before traveling to Turkey.

Important points about toilets in Turkey

If you are planning to travel to Turkey, it is better to familiarize yourself with the tips related to the toilet in Turkey so that you do not get into trouble in Turkey. You must pay to use most of the toilets in Turkey, except for those in shopping centers such as Zorlu Shopping Center.

The toilet in Turkey costs about 5 lira, which you can pay by bank card or cash. But you should know that this amount can be slightly less or more depending on the toilet facilities.

In most Turkish toilets, there are good hygiene facilities such as toilet paper, washing liquid, and hand dryer that you can use.

If you have traveled to Turkey with your baby and are shopping in Turkish shopping malls and you plan to change your baby’s diaper, I have good news because, in most shopping malls in Turkey, there is a room next to the toilets where You can easily change your child’s diaper in them.

You should also know that in these shopping centers, special toilets have been built for disabled people so that these people can easily use Turkish toilets.

Types of Toilet in Turkey

As I mentioned in the article “What Race Is Turkish“, people have different religions in Turkey. Because each religion has different customs, there are different models of toilets in Turkey.

You should also know that people on different continents use different toilets, and as I mentioned in the article “Is Turkey in Europe or Asia?” Turkey is located on the two continents of Asia and Europe, which is another reason this country has different toilets.

Close-coupled toilet

One of the types of toilet models in Turkey is called a Close-coupled toilet. This model of toilets can be seen in most countries, and almost everyone uses them.

This type of toilet is more common among Americans and Europeans, and people living on these continents use them easily. In all shopping malls and public toilets in Turkey, there are these models of toilets that you can easily use.

You may be surprised to hear that some people living in Asia do not use these types of toilets and do not like to use these types of toilets due to health issues.

Squat Toilets

Another toilet that can be seen in Turkey is Squat Toilets. As I said above, some people in Asia like to use this model of toilets.

These types of toilets exist in Turkish cities with more Muslims, and you should also know that these toilets are in all Turkish mosques. These types of toilets are less than Close-coupled toilets, and you cannot find them anywhere.

If you have traveled to Istanbul and are looking for squat toilets, I must tell you that you can use this toilets in the mosques.

For example, Taksim Mosque, located in Taksim Square in Istanbul, has these types of toilets, and you can use these types of toilets by paying about 5 lira in 2023.

I should also say that only some hotels in Istanbul have these types of toilets. Suppose you cannot use a close-coupled toilet and are looking for a hotel with a squat toilet. In that case, I suggest you choose one of the hotels around Taksim Square because, due to the touristic nature of this area of ​​Turkey, there are different models of toilets in hotels.

Also, if you are interested in shopping, it is better to go to Cevahir Mall because this mall has squat toilets.

Why are there different toilet models in Turkey?

As mentioned above, Turkey is a Muslim country, so Muslim people there prefer to use squat toilets because Muslim people always worship. One of the important points for worshiping is the cleanliness of the body.

Muslims who use squat toilets can clean themselves with water after peeing, which is impossible in close-coupled toilets.

Final word

If you travel to Turkish cities, you should know that in the cities located in the east of Turkey, you can easily find squat toilets. Still, in the western cities of Turkey, which are closer to Europe, there are fewer squat toilets, and you cannot find them anywhere, so most toilets are close-coupled.

If you have the experience of traveling to Turkey, write your experience in the comment section and share it with me and others. Finally, I suggest you read the article “How Much Lira For A Week In Turkey?” to get more information about this country before traveling to Turkey.
