Possible return to Turkey at the end of the 180 day period after the first entrance.

By Matteo Locatelli Jan 18,2023

Good morning,
I'm Matteo Locatelli and I would like to ask a question regarding the possible return to Turkey at the end of the 180 day period after the first entrance.
I received conflicting information at the port of Bodrum, at the time of my embarkation for Kos. I'd like to clarify.

Briefly. I entered Turkey from Bulgaria on 15 August 2022.
I have spent in total 85 days in Turkey, up to the day of my departure to Kos on 18th January 2023. (I have been in Georgia 2 months in this period).
I would therefore have another 5 days to spend in Turkey before February 15th, the date on which the 180-day period that began on August 15th ends.

My question is, after February 15th does a new 180 day period open in which I can stay another 90 days in Turkey?
Or do I have to stay out of Turkey for 6 months? (thing I was told at passport control in Bodrum)

Thanks in advance for your reply.
