Entry and stay rules

How this relates to Schengen days
Türkiye is outside the Schengen area. Time there is not Schengen presence, but it does not remove days already used from Schengen's rolling window.
A stay outside the Schengen area is not itself a reset. The 90/180 calculation remains rolling and prior Schengen days continue to count until they leave the relevant window.
The destination's entry rules depend on nationality and travel document. Check the linked official source before departure.
