And when you’ve had your fill of history and phenomenal architecture, why not visit the markets and bazaars that Istanbul is famous for? As well as the massive covered grand bazaar, there is also a truly unique spice bazaar that not only blends beautiful colours for perfect photos but offers a unique opportunity to try something you might not often be able to experience. For lunch, why not try some Baklava, shish kebabs and Turkish coffee, or maybe even some Turkish delight? And afterwards, stroll down to the Bosphorus, the twenty seven kilometer stretch of river that connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara, splitting Istanbul into the old and new city. The Bosphorus Bridge is the fifth longest in the world and offers the best panoramas of the city when the sun is just beginning to set.
But holidays aren’t just about sightseeing no matter how awe inspiring the setting, so when you’re ready for relaxing; head over to Princes Islands, Istanbul’s summer paradise. Only an hour away from the city centre these islands are the perfect beach getaway, offering the sand and turquoise waters that you can only dream of. The islands are such perfection that no cars or other motor vehicles are allowed on them, instead travelers are escorted around by phoeton (horse pulled carts), maintaining the romance of such a location. And at the end of a day, make sure to visit a hammam, or Turkish bath to have every care massaged away.
There’s no right or wrong way to visit Istanbul, as long as you allow yourself to enjoy every moment among this fantastic city.
