Our community in Istanbul is also very active offline. Our InterNations Ambassadors, Metin Suerkan and Gundula Strittmatter, organize regular events and various expat activities, e.g. a dinner in Istanbul’s hippest restaurant or a weekend break with other German expats to explore the heavily forested mountains near the Black Sea. These activities are a casual way to get to know expats from Turkey in Istanbul as well as Germans in Turkey nationwide. Interested?
