Correct example

Turkish addresses put the five-digit postal code before the city. The street type (Caddesi, Sokak, Bulvar) follows the street name, and the building number comes after it.
What to watch for: For domestic mail, no. For international mail, write the country name in capital letters on the last line. Use the English name or the ISO country name.
