Alongside EzHookups, most people in Istanbul also try the free tiers on OkCupid, Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Facebook Dating. Our guides compare what each one actually allows before you pay:
Start with one clear recent photo and two or three sentences in your bio, and name a place in Istanbul you actually like — it gives people something to answer.
Activity in Istanbul varies by time of day and by how tight your radius is, and check at two different times before deciding the local pool is empty.
Browsing profiles and sending messages in Istanbul costs nothing, and the inbox is not the paid part, unlike most free dating sites.
Allow location access, or type Istanbul in manually, then set your radius, and you will see Istanbul first, then nearby places in Turkey.
Adult and casual dating both work in Istanbul, provided everyone is 18 or over, and set your intent on your profile and the matching follows it.
