Morning stroll in trendy Istanbul

Wake up in the neighbourhoods of Galata and Karaköy. Filled with vintage shops, street art and the famous Galata Tower, it’s one of my favorite places of the city. By the way, did you know that Istanbul is often referred to as city of the cats? People take such good care of them here, that they just behave like locals. 😊 Cute!

Sunset cruise on the Bosphorus

End the day on the iconic Bosphorus, the river that splits the European part of Istanbul with its Asian part. Hop on the boat at least 1.5 hours before sunset time and see the city from a whole different perspective, in the most beautiful colours. Wouldn’t recommend a specific company for this tour, just head to ‘Eminönü’ on Google Maps and find a ticket on the spot. It will cost you about €30pp for a 2.5h tour.
