There are ongoing political protests in Turkey. We advise if you are going to take advantage of this fare to monitor the situation. At the moment, reports indicate that if you stay out of the areas of protest, you will be fine. However, the situation is very fluid. If you plan on going, we recommend you enroll in the State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) before you go.
That said, Istanbul is definitely worth visiting.
