Everything you need to identify Turkey in GeoGuessr — from the writing system and road signs to bollard colours, utility poles, and the landscape itself.
These are the fastest visual identifiers — things you should look for in the first few seconds of a round.
Turkish has ğ (soft g, barely pronounced) — unique to Turkish; also ı (dotless i) and İ (dotted capital i)
Extremely diverse landscape: Aegean/Mediterranean coast; Anatolian plateau; Black Sea; Cappadocia's rock formations
Minarets visible in virtually every town — Turkey is secular but mosques are everywhere
O-road (motorway) signs and D-road (state road) signs use a distinctive Turkish numbering
Cappadocia: unique volcanic 'fairy chimney' rock formations in central Anatolia
These details help narrow down a location once you've spotted the country — or confirm your guess when you're unsure.

Latin (Turkish)
Turkey drives on the right side of the road. In-game, the Google camera car is on the right side — so oncoming traffic comes from the left. This is the norm for most of Europe, the Americas, and continental Asia.
Turkey contains the remains of more ancient civilisations than almost any other country — including Göbekli Tepe, the world's oldest known temple at 12,000 years old, which rewrote the history of human civilization.
