I've been in Istanbul this week and have seen at least 50 places with Bitcoin signs. Seems like every currency exchange point had them.

I’ll look more closely when I’m back in Istanbul. I wonder if it is focused on tourist areas or locations? I’m living as average Turk not currently in tourist focused areas.

Yeah they're mostly in more touristic areas. A lot of normal exhchanges and Western Union / MoneyGram points also provide crypto exchange services.
