I plan on traveling alone to Turkey in the summer of 2017. On my journey, I want to travel to areas with large Alevi populations, the Hatay province and the city of Konya. What are the best ways I can save money on food and travel while I'm there and what is the best mode of transportation?

pretend to be a refugee
free citizenship for any eu country
sell passport for said country
go someplace nicer than turkey with the money

I thought about this. And given my looks I could pass as an Arab, just a few problems:
1. Libyans are likely to dump you en route to Greece
2. They will send an interpreter to interview you, how do you explain not knowing your "local" language?

you will be arrested, everyone will assume you have gone to join isil
I never recomend you to go to konya because of intensity of conservetive(islamist,isis sympathizer) people.
you can go to tunceli.it is the heart of alivi person
I am also alevi
I can give you all necessary informations.
So, I just bumped 2 posts before hoping for some activity but seeing nothing is really going on I'll just tell my plans
I'm thinking in traveling in Turkey for around 2 weeks (I'm already in Istanbul), I had in mind fly to Mardinor to Diyarbakır and from there go to Urfa, Antep and then something else.
As OP I'm interested in Alevi lifestyle but >>1120181 I'm not sure of Tunceli is actually a very isolated place to travel.
As well I was interested in konya for the very exact reason you don't recommend the city
What you think I should visit? Is Mardin & Diyarbakır a suicidal plan?
If this thread don't die I'll be posting live my travels
Here's the French foreign affairs minister map for Turkey.
