TL;DR
It's cheaper to order a physical M8 SIM card in advance via Ozon than to buy a local Turkish SIM; for a short 2-3 day trip, home-carrier roaming is also an affordable option.

For a short trip to Turkey (2-3 days), you don't necessarily need a local SIM — using roaming from your home carrier is fine and won't cost much.

It's cheaper to pre-order a physical M8 SIM card via Ozon marketplace — it works out significantly less expensive than buying a Turkish SIM locally.

The SIM card and the Turkey data package are typically purchased and activated separately: first you get the SIM, then activate a data plan on it — check the exact activation and payment process with the provider beforehand.
