Prices can range a lot, depending on where you are going. Generally it's cheap if you're from a relatively wealthy country.

My guess is you can find a good hotel for a little over €100 a night and get a nice meal for about €10. This is what I remember from going to Istanbul a few years ago. (Didn't stay at that hotel though, too expensive to stay there long with my student economy )
Oh, and do not even try to fall in love with somebody it will just give you problems. Any anyway, why would anyone even do that? I hope you girls are joking

Depends where you go. Istanbul and the resort areas are much more expensive than Central Anatolia, the south and the east. I stayed last year in 4-star hotels for 25 euro.

Yes that's true. I didn't get the impression that she's going there, hence my first post. 25 € is very cheap though, you must be really good at finding hotels

Not particularly good in finding hotels. I use Lonely Planet as my guidebook and I do pre-travel searches on the internet. But I am good at bargaining - hey I'm Dutch, remember....

you all are so sweet. Thanks.
I dont want Turkish boyfriend I want friends.
I dont know how my cousin can have a boyfriend that she never can see, because he lives so far.
I love Mexico. You all can make questions of my country too and you are welcome to come.
But I will go and Im working. Im worried for money because Im young and I dont have a good good job.
My parents bought the ticket but I will pay all in Turkey.
That is why I ask for something with good prices.
If you know the name of a hotel.
Her boyfriend told us we can stay at his house but I dont know if it is good idea.
In Turkey is it normal?

If you don't mind, can I ask where you are going to? Every part of Turkey is different when it comes to things like this. Eg. I stayed with my family-in-law right from the first time I met them, but it may be be different with other families in other regions. Like mentioned before, you can find both cheap and expensive things in Turkey.

We are going to Estambul.
Im for be honest ashamed because my cousin is the one that will go for visit her boyfriend. She is just taking me to Turkey for dont go alone
so Im going as a pest jeje and I dont want to arrive to their house because I feel shy about this.
That is why I prefer hotel. I dont want to give problems to the parents of this boy.

If it's not a serious, dedicated relationship (if they haven't met before) then I think it's a good idea to listen to vineyards' advice, like you also say yourself.
The hotel I was referring to earlier is in Taksim in Istanbul, the Marmara I think. There are of course tons of hotels in Istanbul, Taksim being very central (in my opinion anyway) but also more expensive. You can look through guides to see in which city part (eh, barrio) you want to stay. I advice you not to stay in Beyoğlu because even though Istanbul is a relatively safe city, Beyoğlu can be dangerous when you're two young, foreign women staying with yourself.

I'd suggest you girls to stay at a hotel and see from there. Your friend can still meet her love, but by staying in a hotel there are no commitments. You can still go out and meet, but you have to be realistic. In case of a "worst case scenario" you'll both be happy to have a place of your own.
Istanbul is a huge city, but don't let it intimidate you, don't get all paranoid. Just use your common sense and you'll be fine.
Have a great trip

Quoting vineyards: Is she sure she knows him well. How well can she know him without ever seeing? There are all sorts of people in any society. I would recommend not to stay with his family. Book your own hotel rooms without asking his assistance. Even if she wants to stay with them, I suggest that you should stay in a hotel.
We became friends with a German girl after chatting for a couple of years and she stayed in a hotel room when she came here to visit me (and to see the city asw well). I formally invited her and she declined. I had the best of the intentions but I did not insist at all. It has nothing to do with hospitability etc. I would grow even more suspicious if he insists beyond reason or tries to arrange everything on behalf of you.
dulce,i think u should take vineyards advice..it is beautiful country,i am in love with istanbul,and people are really great,but u never know..it is like everywhere,good and bad things can always happened..take care and i am sure that u will have nice trip.Istanbul will do that!
Better be careful than sorry.

I should really bite my tongue here. But I'm not going to. There are several at this site that would be very offended if the same questions were asked about the "young turks" or similar. Why do we need this rudeness? She is a young girl and was only being polite. Why ridicule her?

It appears you have thus far come across in your life very few question patterns that has only few directions and carry only few intentions. Maybe it was yet my fault to ask such questions- who knows? As Nietzsche once put it very well- "I am not the mouth for these ears!"

Ah, no! young blade! That was a trifle short!
You might have said at least a hundred things
By varying the tone...like this, suppose,...
Aggressive:'Ouasimodo, if I had such a hunchback
I'd amputate it!' Friendly:'When you sleep
it must annoy you, dipping in your bed
you must sleep sitting a chair, instead of lying in the bed.'
Descriptive:'Tis a rock!...a peak!...a mountain!'
Rustic: 'That thing a hunchback? Marry-come-up!'
Military: 'Your ugliness is the most
destructive weapon against enemy!'
Practical: 'Put it in a lottery'
Truculent: 'When you go out of the church
Do not the girls, as your ugliness appears,
cry terror-struck:'Run away! Quasimodo again!'
Pedantic:'Why don't you compose music like Beethoven did?'
Considerate:'Take care of your face, ears and hunchback.'
Dramatic: 'You will never have Esmeralda!'
Tender:'It is pity! You're ugly, deaf and hunchback!'
Admiring:'You have spent all your life in the church.'
Curious:'How would you make love to Esmeralda?'
Simple: 'You must share the same origin with camels.'
-Such, my poor vineyards, is what you you might have said,
Had you of wit or letters the least jot:
But, O most lamentable man!--of wit
You never had an atom, and of letters
You have three letters only!--they spell Ass!
And--had you had the necessary wit,
To serve me all the pleasantries I quote
Before this noble audience. . .e'en so,
You would not have been let to utter one--
Nay, not the half or quarter of such jest!
I take them from myself all in good part,
But not from any other man that breathes!

Oh but I do bow down to he who can write in such a form,
that one doth believe that he must be Shakespeare reincarnated,
that the mere hump must only add to his writing and ingenious prose

Shall be dispatched by me with honors due!
