If you are planning to travel around Turkey rather than stay in one place, then do yourself a favor and take only the essentials. Test drive your bag, once packed, by carrying it up and down a couple of flights of stairs. If it is too much to handle after five minutes, imagine it after three weeks of traveling.
If you are taking a suitcase on wheels, pack shoes and heavy items at
the base of the suitcase near the wheels.
Pack evening clothes in tissue paper to limit creases.
T-shirts and cotton clothing should be rolled to save space.
Woolen and fleece sweaters should be packed flat.
Use clear plastic bags for small items such as underwear and socks,
which otherwise wind up at the bottom of your backpack or case.
Plastic bags also are useful for things like spare batteries.
