How this place changed my life

Istanbul changed my life in many ways, I wish I could share all of them.

one of them was listening the ezan calling during 3 months: Somehow it tamed me and made my sadness to go away. I miss it everyday, as I miss the Kadiköy Iskelesi, the green bus and the streets around, the sunsets over the Bosphorus, the sound of the sea!

You cant die without visiting Istanbul at least once!

Visit during Ramadan

Me and my friend were in Istanbul for Ramadan. First I wasn’t too happy with the planning, since it felt sorta weird to go on holiday, which usually involves a lot of nice food, at a time when people are fasting. But actually it turned out great. At night, just before dusk, people would come out onto the streets and start stacking up on food, settling down on benches and in parks, or at the fairlike concoction next to the mosque. And then at sunset the mosque would call out it was time to eat. The athmosphere was great and it was an amazing site to see all those people sitting around in front of the Blue Mosque.

Trip to Istanbul

Nice City too big but neat & Clean.Blue Mosque,Istiklal Avenue,Aya Sofia, princess Island are the top attraction.but above all Bosphorous cruise was very relaxing.
On day one we explore around Taksim & walked through Istiklal.
It is very lively place all 24 hours.Dont miss the tram ride.
we took metro from tip of istiklal to Galata and walked all beneath the bridge on the Golden Horn.

Public transportation is excellent in this city.
Just dont forget to visit Topkapi & Dolmabache palace

A very rich place to visit, culturally, visually, historically. In some ways, it is the central city of the world.
