Meet fellow Germans in Istanbul at our Events

Our community in Istanbul is also very active offline. Our InterNations Ambassadors, Metin Suerkan and Füsun Vollmuth, 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?
