I got only 3 but still beat 56% :D

6 beats 79%. Should have gotten 7 or 8, though...

I got 4, and 2 of those only because I started entering the names of Turkish football clubs. Funny, the cities of Fenerbahce, Galatasaray and Besiktas didn't show up. :-P

Got the top 4 answers, which are the only ones I've heard of.

Surprised not many people know Şanlıurfa, it used to be Edessa. Also Denizli, it's near Pamukkale.

Level 89

Jul 23, 2016

All I knew were Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. Everything else was blank to me.

Level 84

I missed Denizli, despite having been to Pamukkale. One of the most strange and beautiful places I've ever been. Doesn't seem to be as well known as it should be IMO.

Since you're also using the Turkish İ, as distinct from the more common I which also appears in Turkish, in the answers ("İzmir"), please note that İstanbul also starts with İ.

Level 84

I got two. Apparently, Ilium/Troy is no longer highly populated, but thousands of years ago my answer would have totally rocked this quiz.

Wow, I saw my hometown in a Quiz preview picture, can I be proud?

If you know the Turkish football league teams, you'll get at least 7 by deleting "spor" or "gucu" from the end of the clubs' names.
