ofcourse! I did! You'd be surprised how relaxed they are- some aren't even very religious- If you go to the grandbazaar- say hello to Ismail!

Yes ofcorse you can.and its the same for turkish citiziens turkey is an islamic state but a very modernÄ±zed one.They accept you for who you are same is youd respect them.i have a turkish husband and before we married we lived in his familys house and stayed in the same room.Enjoy your stay!

Well, I am an unmarried Muslim Turkish woman, and we sometimes like to stay at the hotel with my boyfriend late at nights, when we feel lazy after all Saturday night dance and drinking.
I believe you can too :) Enjoyyyyyy

Turkey is a secular state, not an Islamic one.

I doubt very much that you would have any difficulty in sharing a room in Istanbul or anywhere else in Turkey frequented by tourists. In some of the more conservative parts of Anatolia it is more difficult, but even there, if you go to the large, expensive hotels, it would probably be OK.

I would just lie to be safe. How would they know?

If you won't tell anyone you're not married how will they figure that out?

I have spent most of the last 3 years in Turkey and you wont have the slightest problem.

Turkey is a secular state. Islam is their religion, not their law.

I stayed with my boyfriend in the same hotel room in Alanya, Turkey and we had no problems. We had to show our passports and they knew we had different last names, but nobody said anything about it!! We also were not Turkish citizens. I am Dutch and my boyfriend is Irish!!

don't be silly! sure u can stay in same room. Turkey not so Islamic country....especially in Istambul! its almost Europe not Amsterdam....:) but anyway

In decent hotels, tourists can without problems unless the hotels suspects of prostitution. It is more difficult for Turkish citizens however as they are asked for marriage certificate almost always.

No problem Islam only applies to its own followers.

Hello jay,

According to my experience I am pretty sure that you can stay in Istanbul.Because me and my boyfriend went there last year and we stayed there and in Antalya for a week.There is none of their business actually I suppose whether you are married or not.

I dont think they should be staying together anywhere in the world!!
