What you will find here..
Istanbul is a city of over 15 million people, partly in Europe partly in Asia. If you, like most people, are going there for a short holiday, you can easily get lost, end up going to the wrong places, and have a pretty mediocre experience overall.
This website aims to give visitors a better idea of the great venues and activities Istanbul has to offer. It has been developed by my brother and I and stems from 30 years of visiting Istanbul as Istanbulites living abroad. The choices here reflect our view of the best places to go in Istanbul at a particular point in time and are categorized based on the type of information/activity: General Info, Restaurants, bars, historic sites, hotels, other entertainment, and shopping. As Istanbul is a dynamic city that is always changing, it is likely that the site will need regular updates based on feedback from users like yourself. Currently, the site has no commercial purpose (apart from the google ads at the bottom of the page), therefore we have no vested interest in the locations we recommend for you. Enjoy browsing, and should you have any questions not covered in these pages, do not hesitate to contact us!
Oh, and by the way.. Say you're the last minute kind of person and you just discovered this website but have a taxi waiting to take you to the airport en route to Istanbul right now..
