GENERAL INFO

What is Pukka Living?
Pukka Living is a free newsletter and website on life in Istanbul. It features ‘unique’ stuff only known to the locals with a zest in life. To discover more about it, click here.


OK, I like it. Can I sign up?

Sure, why not?. Just click here.


But before that, can I be sure that you won’t sell my details to the highest bidder?

Of course you can. That would kill the whole idea of Pukka Living, which is to create a community of urban cools who are happy to share and benefit from eachother’s tips to live a ‘pukka’ life. Your concern for anonymity is well deserved and we respect that every step of the way.


So, how do you decide what gets featured everyday?
 
We are strictly editorial, which means that we only feature stuff that is unique and waiting to be discovered.  Not what people pay us to feature, which is classified as advertising, and you’ll know it when you see it.       

Actually, I also want to recommend a cool place, product, etc.  Can I tell you?
 
Of course, by all means…We’re always on the look out for the next ‘pukka’: quality things, new places, authentic ideas, hot events, interesting people, and genius products and services.  So if you know a friend, who knows a friend, etc…who does cool stuff, let us know by contacting us here.  For those stylist wannabes among you: why don’t you check our Comments section under the daily newsletter and contribute with your own comments on stylish new things?

WEB SITE WORKINGS
 

Where do I begin to explore Pukka Living?
 
Probably the best placeto start  is the hottest scoop, which is Today’s Pukka.  From there on, you can ramble along and snack on your ‘pukka’ tidbits by clicking on Lifestyle, Food&Drink, Fashion and other cool  categories.  Oh, and don’t forget to sign up for the Deals section.      

What’s the deal with the Deals!?
 Well…we bet you love a bargain as much as we do.  So, we searched around the best deals on heels, clothes, furniture, …you name it.  Deals! section is a result of all this hard work delivered to your mailbox regularly, but you must first sign up for it.       

Hang on…  Where was that shoe shop you were raving about the other day?
 
Every news item featured for a specific day is archived under the relevant category the next day.  So the fancy new shoe shop would be under ‘Fashion Archive’ and would stay there forever (until you decided to dig it up).   To make it easier for you to find your way around the archives, we’ve added a search facility.  All you have to do is to type one or two simple words and voila! the features with those words in them are brought to you with newest date on top.
