Istanblues

The Galata tower balances two worlds,
at the end of a cobbled crazy lane.

Every arched window has something spectacular to offer -

bird’s eye views to Turkish lives , less mundane.

Istanbul Travel Suggestions : :

• Keep atleast 3 days for Istanbul itself. The city has lots to offer.
• For a lively music and food experience, you can visit Istiklal street every evening!
• Day trip to Prince’s Isles by a ferry through the Marmara sea can be done on the fourth day.
• Do try Lahmacun (pastries filled with meat) ,Kebabs with yogurt  and the local drink raki.
• Artistic masks can be bought at Galata tower, of course with some awesome views of the city.
• Bursa can be given a miss. It’s an extremely long ride by ferry and bus.
• Hundreds of beautiful white cats at Topkapi Palace are the best treat for cat lovers like me!(However avoid disturbing the fat black cat on the wall just outside the Aya Sophia...she loves to sleep!)
