Can tourists wear shorts in Turkey?

Yes, tourists can wear shorts in many parts of Turkey, especially in coastal resort towns like Antalya, Bodrum, and Fethiye. In major cities like Istanbul, you'll see locals and tourists wearing shorts, though knee-length or 'Bermuda' style shorts are more common for city exploration. However, in more conservative, non-touristy areas and when visiting mosques, it's respectful for both men and women to wear long trousers or skirts.
