From Ukraine to Turkey

So we leave in 14 days to pick up our new son in Ukraine...it appears the trip will be alot longer than we thought. After court we will be lucky if we are out of the region in 13 days. During these 13 days I am wondering if we should take advantage of our situation and head to Istanbul. It is a trip that I have long wanted to do. We will be region with our new son for about 13 days before this. Most Americans fly home after court and come back...thinking we should fly to Turkey.

This question might be better asked in such a forum for that part of the world but wondered, I think we need VISAs and somewhere in a quick search I read we can get one at the airport. the prices I see are $20-$100. there will be 7 of us, so at $20 I would consider...at $100 I would not...

Any advice?

I'm assuming you're American, since you say "most Americans..."

I'm American as well, and last summer I paid 15 Euro for my visa. It was at a land border though. Not sure if that makes a difference.
