 |
|
I'm an American Female who MIGHT be flying into Istanbul - alone. Is it safe? I have no problem being a girl alone but I don't know how safe Americans are. I look American and VERY pale. I only speak English and a LITTLE broken French. Is there any way to blend in? I'm also scared to ride the bus into Greece. What's the cheapest/safest way to get to Greece? I'd like to backpack down from Istanbul to Athens and then fly out.
Any advice is welcome! |

You're likely going to be fine, you won't be the only tourist there. Just know what you're doing and where you are going.
