About this experience
This tour is suitable for everyone. Especially for those who didn't quite understand Istanbul on their first encounter, who found it too crowded and dirty. I will take you through 4 different neighborhoods that will forever change your perception of the city. I am not only a guide but also a professional photographer, so after our walk you will receive gorgeous shots on the iPhone 15.
What awaits you
Beşiktaş
You will see the famous forests of Beşiktaş, where Sultan Suleiman hid. Currently, the Bosphorus gem is located here - Küçüksu Palace. Here you will also see the second defensive tower of Constantinople - Anadoluhisar, and then we will have tea with a view of the second Bosphorus bridge
Çengelköy
Next, we will go to the district, which is famous for the most delicious street food - kokoreç and fish in lavash.
Kuzguncuk
We will not overlook the atmospheric Jewish quarter - the first settlement of Jews in the Asian part of Istanbul. We will stroll through its colorful streets and enjoy peace and tranquility.
Üsküdar
In this ancient and religious district of the city, the largest number of creations by Mimar Sinan - the favorite architect of Sultan Suleiman, is located. Here you will try, perhaps, the most delicious Turkish coffee.
Interesting conversations and a comfortable walking pace
I will tell you about the female sultanate, the role of the 'mammy' in a Turkish family, the features of the national mentality, and the modern customs that have come from the past. I will also show you the filming locations of popular Turkish TV series. I do not strictly follow the time, I conduct the tour at the pace of the guest. Upon request, participants can add visits to restaurants based on their taste preferences.
