Since last night, the rain water has been ponding and flooding my house in Ümraniye, our friend who is taking care of the house called everyone to help but no one came, our house is ruined and we can’t afford to fix it. What should we do? Anyone here who could help?

Looking for... Does anyone know where I can buy mountain tea (dağ çayı)?

I was in Albania before I came to visit here in Istanbul. While I was there I bought çaj mali, or mountain tea, also called Greek mountain tea, sideritis, ironwort. I understand it is called dağ çayı here. I was hoping to find more here in one of the many tea & herb & spice shops, but they all seem to only carry the same things (like viagra tea 🤔). Perhaps someone here knows if there is some non-touristy place that has it? Thanks

Question Water problem in Fatih?

4 Upvotes

Tourist in Fatih here. There is no water today so I'm wondering if this is a problem in my appartment/building (and I need to fix it) or in the region (and I just need to wait). Is there any website I can check? I looked at the municipality's website but couldn't find anything.

Update: u/Few-Interview-1996 answered below. Thank you!

https://iski.istanbul/abone-hizmetleri/ariza-kesinti/

Select Fatih in the first drop-down box, then your "mahalle" in the second. If there's scheduled maintenance or something, it'll appear, together with an expected time of conclusion (the line beginning "BİTİŞ").
