İstanbul City Guide
Sultanahmet
Sultanahmet is the district that all tourists
head for. This is ancient Istanbul with all
the sightseeing heavyweights packed
together with must-see mosques, palaces
and the Grand Bazaar. Compact and
relatively traffic free compared to the rest of
the city and easy to navigate around on foot.
Aya Sofya – (also known as Hagia Sophia
- The Church of the Divine Wisdom)
This originally Christian basilica, is Istanbul’s
finest site. Vast interior, stunning mosaics
and a towering dome. The present building
is the third to stand on the site. The first was
built in AD360 during the reign of Constantius,
many times until this final structure was completed in 537. For a thousand years
this was the largest building in the world. When Ottoman Mehmet II conquered
the city in 1453 his first act was to declare Aya Sofya a mosque. Apart from
removing some of the marble crosses and whitewashing the mosaic icons he left
the church as it was. The 4 Islamic minarets which now stand at the corners were
added after the Turkish conquest. In 1935 Aya Sofya was declared a museum
and is the most visited site in the country with more than 2 million visitors a year.

Topkapi Palace
For 400 years this pavilion palace was the residence of the Ottoman sultans
who were the most powerful empire rulers in the world. Built by Mehmet the
Conqueror shortly after his conquest in 1453, both as his command centre and as
his indulgent home. The Palace is a city within a city consisting of interconnecting
courts and between 5,000 and 7,000 people worked and lived inside to serve the
sultan household. The Harem alone had 300 rooms – just 40 are open to
the public.

The Blue Mosque
One of the most magnificent mosques in the Muslim world it takes its name
from the blue iznik tiles which line its walls. Built during the reign of
Sultan Ahmet (1603 – 1617) with 6 minerets, which at the time was a cause of
controversy as only Mecca – the holiest site in Islam also had six. There is a
stunning vast central dome.

conquest of 1456-61 and is a labyrinth of passageways and corridors with 64
streets, 3,000 shops, 22 entrances and 25,000 employees. It’s tourists who
shop and barter here rather than locals. There is a huge range of goods

infamous carpets.

Beyoglu and Taksim
The city’s heartland. Istiklal Caddesi (Independence Avenue) is a mile long
pedestrianised grand boulevard cutting through Beyoglu. An ancient looking
tram runs the length of Istikal Caddesi. Lined with nineteenth century former
palaces and embassies which are now home to High Street brands. The Avenue
is just as busy at night with pavement bars and restaurants serving the tourists.
It’s said that up to a million people walk up or down Istikal Caddesi every day.
The streets off Istiklal Caddesi retain their Bohemian past and are home to many
interesting independent shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and clubs. Taksim square
is at the heart of modern Istanbul but it’s large, busy and on the whole
unappealing. Crossing the road here requires pedestrians take their life in their
hands as traffic comes from every direction and doesn’t always stop at the traffic
lights.

The neighborhood of Balat, which is adjacent to Fener, also fascinates visitors like Fener with its colorful cafes and restaurants, antique and vintage shops, traces of Jewish heritage, various synagogues and churches.

Sail across Turkey's turquoise coast on a sun-soaked island-hopping cruise, and experience the old-world charm and tranquility of the Princes' Islands. Tuck into an onboard lunch buffet of tasty Turkish delicacies, while a friendly guide weaves a fascinating tale of the incredible local history.
Step off the boat at three islands and savor the car-free peacefulness and majestic scenery of each. The only thing missing is an enchanting horse-drawn carriage ride... oh wait, that's included too!
The Princes' Islands are so-called because this is where princes and other royalty were banished to during the Byzantine era. Experience the poor princes' plight with a relaxing lunch cruise, and wander their island paradise with the sea breeze in your hair. Exile is tough!

My favorite local eating places.
There is never a problem finding somewhere
to eat and drink in Istanbul – from the street
vendors selling grilled corn on the cob, simit
– savoury bread with seasame seeds - and
fresh grilled fish on the harbour – to the cafes
and restaurants on almost every corner.
Low-cost traditional Turkish “meyhanes”
(tavernas) serve “mezes” – small dishes of
starters and dips– usually cold. Boreks are
another traditional Turkish snack – a savoury
pastry filled with anything from cheese or
vegetables or meat. Dolmas are stuffed –
usally peppers or vine leaves. And of course there are grilled
meat kebabs. The district of Kumkapi on the Sea of Marmara, close to
Sultanahmet is packed with lively harbourside seafood restaurants and
meyhanes.
Traditional non-alcoholic drinking can be tea – herbal or straight – served in small
tulip-shaped glasses – never with milk but always with sugar. Everyone you visit
offers you a glass and it’s considered rude to refuse. Turkish coffee is black and
very strong in tiny cups. Turkish wines are fine – but wine is generally
expensive in restaurants. The stronger stuff is raki – an aniseed-flavour clear
spirit that turns cloudy when water is added. The centuries old tradition of
smoking apple flavoured tobacco through a narghile (a waterpipe) is kept alive
in coffee houses. One guide-book fixture is Erenler Narghile – one of the oldest
and most famous located in a Ottoman building in Sultanahmet, packed with
students from the nearby university. Narghile smoking has fairly recently had a
revival and become popular with young Istanbulites – male and female.
There is no shortage of uber-stylish restaurants and bars serving international
and fusion cuisine to Istanbul’s style conscious.
Some highlights;-
Ortaköy is famous for its kumpir. I definitely recommend you to eat kumpir with the local people in Ortaköy. You can also visit the souvenir shops and buy a variety of jewelry.
