Tips for Digital Nomads in Ankara

📶

Test WiFi Before Committing

🏢

Try a Day Pass First

Most coworking spaces offer day passes. Test a few before committing to a monthly membership.

☕

Cafe Etiquette

Buy something every 1 to 2 hours if working from a cafe. Lunch hours are usually not the best time to camp with a laptop.
