While preparing for a trip to Turkey, a crucial question often asked is, “Can you drink tap water in Turkey?”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you are wondering about the same, you are at the right place. Having traveled to most places in Turkey, I will tell you about my experiences as a Turkish local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here is your short answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Tap water is mostly safe to drink in Turkey. Yet, most tap water tastes bland due to its high mineral content. Most Turkish people drink bottled water.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The best-bottled water brands are Erikli, Danone’s Hayat, S\u0131rma, and P\u0131nar Su.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can safely use tap water to brush your teeth, take a bath, and cook with it. <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In some Turkish destinations, tap water has excellent quality, but this is rare. I rarely drink tap water because it has an alkaline taste. We prefer mostly bottled water (Hayat or Erikli brand) in our house for drinking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this guide, I will answer all your common questions about Turkish tap water and tell you the best water brands and other drinks that you should try on your visit to Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Click here to read \u201cWhich Water Should You Use in Istanbul?
