Do I need to get a visa for Turkey?

Accepted answer

As a German citizen you can spend up to 90 days within a period of 180 days in Turkey, without visa. A passport or ID card (Personalausweis) is enough.

For Iran, you need a passport without stamp from Israel, and a visa.

Istanbul airport provides free tours for those with 6-24 hour layovers, which appears to include you. The info page for the tour points to a Turkish government page which says that Germans do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days.

I had two 4-hour layovers in that airport and while the lounge was nice, I kind of had my nose pressed up against the glass wishing I could go out and see the city. Take the free tour, it should be fun!
