Merhaba! Which means hello in Turkish :)) Would you like to see Istanbul like a local? If yes, continue reading! I'm Nursu, 24 years old. I was born and raised in Turkey. I love learning languages and getting to know new cultures. I speak English, Bosnian, Russian and little bit Arabic:) The first city that comes to mind when Turkey is mentioned is Istanbul and it is such a fascinating city that it really deserves its reputation. I think a lifetime is not enough to visit all parts of Istanbul, but I plan to see the most famous places in Istanbul in 3 days. We will spend the first and second days on the European side and the last day on the Anatolian side.

In the afternoon we will meet at Taksim Maydani (Taksim Square) and check in to our accommodation. Then we'll go grocery shopping, have dinner, and rest. We will spend this day getting to know each other.

Sultanahmet Square

Day 2-3
We will spend our first day in Sultanahmet Square. We will reach there by public transport and our first stop will be the Topkapı Palace Museum. This is a truly stunning palace. Then we will visit Hagia Sophia. Hagia Sophia represents a brilliant moment in Byzantine architecture and art. You'll like it. :) After Hagia Sophia, we will visit the Basilica Cistern. The Basilica Cistern is a closed water cistern built in 526-527 to meet the water needs of the city. After visiting the Basilica Cistern, we will visit the Blue Mosque. This mosque is one of the most famous mosques in Turkey. We will continue our tour with the Grand Bazaar. It's possible to find beautiful souvenirs here. 💅🏻 Finally, we will go to Gulhane Park. After a day spent with culturally rich information, Gülhane Park, full of bird chirping, flowers and various trees, will be relaxing for us in the evening. And then we'll go back to our accomodation.

Dolmabahçe Palace

Day 3-4
On our second day, our first stop will be Dolmabahçe Palace. Not only the history of this palace, but also its architecture and view will fascinate you. After Dolmabahçe Palace, we will go to Yıldız Park. Known as Yıldız Park, this park is actually the outer grove of Yıldız Palace and is home to extremely old trees. Our third stop will be the Church of Saint Antoine. This church is a catholic church and is an example of Italian architecture in Istanbul. Finally, we will return to our accommodation after visiting the Galata Tower, one of the most important structures forming the silhouette of Istanbul...
