## What is Semta?

Istanbul is bigger than your trip. Semta decides what you can actually see today, puts it in a sensible order, and tells you what the taxi should cost.

BUILT FOR THE TRIP, NOT FOR THE PLANNING

Tell Semta where you are, how long you have, and what you care about. It builds a route that fits — grouped by district so you are not crossing the Bosphorus twice, ordered so you arrive when places are open, and sized to the hours you actually have.

No account. No sign-up. Open it and go.

KNOW THE FARE BEFORE YOU GET IN

Every place shows what a taxi from your current position should cost, based on the official Istanbul tariff and the real driving distance. You get a range, not a fake precise number, because traffic is traffic.

This is the number tourists never have. It is the difference between paying the fare and paying the tourist fare.

WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL

Everything is inside the app: the places, the photos, the histories, the routing. No roaming charges, no hunting for cafe Wi-Fi, no dead app in the middle of Sultanahmet. Turn on airplane mode and it behaves exactly the same.

WHAT YOU GET

- Routes built around your location, your hours, and your interests
- Over 200 places across the historic peninsula, Beyoglu, Besiktas, Uskudar and Kadikoy
- Photos and a real history for each one — written to be read while you stand there
- Walking distance and time to every stop
- Taxi fare estimates using the current official tariff
- Opening hours and ticket prices
- Full map with your route drawn on it
- Reorder or drop any stop and the route recalculates

ONE PURCHASE

Semta is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no renewal, nothing to cancel. Buy it once, use it for the whole trip, and it stays unlocked on every device signed in to your Apple Account.

Download free and try the app first: one full route and three place guides are open before you decide.

PRIVACY

Semta collects nothing. No account, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Your location is used on your iPhone to measure distance and never leaves it.

Semta is an independent guide. It is not affiliated with any taxi company, tour operator, or transport authority, and it does not book rides. Fare figures are estimates.
