If you have been planning to visit Istanbul for a cultural trip, then you are lucky, you've come across me! :) While with me, you will enjoy the city without worrying about tourist traps ;) GRAB YOUR CAMERA! Because, we will have a BOSPHORUS Tour! YAY! You know what they say, the best way to explore Istanbul is via the sea:) Let's see what the trip is basically about! The trip will be for 5 days starting from the heart of Istanbul; "Sultanahmet" the old town where most of Ottoman and Byzantine history is based on. Plus, there are many attractions in the city around the same area. After the old town, we will visit the "slightly" modern part of the city and enjoy the breeze of the sea. Since this trip will be culture and history-oriented — and I know, you are particularly seeking that ;) — we will be visiting the most famous museums and attractions of the city. Yes! Plus, we will experience delicious Turkish cuisine and enjoy the bustle of the town while sipping our coffee. We will walk along the famous Istiklal Street in Taksim and pay a visit to Pera Palace - the oldest and most famous hotel in Istanbul in which Ataturk, Hitchcock, Agatha Christie, and many celebrities had paid a visit and actually stayed. We can also have coffee and try delicious chocolates at Patisserie de Pera, a famous café in the hotel. At night, we can go to a pub — there are plenty of nice pubs in Beşiktaş and Kadıköy.
