Bahram MovahedJuly 16, 2017Have you heard that istanbul is a city that never sleeps? This Avenue is one of the reasons it is called that. Late night life, street singing and wide range of brand stores makes this perfect to see.

Lewis TJune 13, 2015Buzzing, vibrant street with tons of food vendors, cafes and sweet shops. Similar crowds to Oxford Street in London (so if you don't like people, avoid!) Be careful of fast motorbikes and cars.
Turkey Travel CentreMarch 23, 2014Take a tram, visit churches, the flower passage, eat where the locals eat, shop in brand name stores, explore antique hives and visit museums. This is where it all happens in Istanbul
My city has the colours of eternity, a precious gem encrusted in blue, red and white. My city has the perfume of wisdom, captive in all little corner... My city is life and death, hope and fear...
