Istanbul (Turkiye)

Travel to Istanbul was something really great. I was at first not excited because I was traveling during the winter and personally I don't like winter but once there I did forget the weather and just followed the flow. During the first night of my stay I did land by mistake to Taksim Square which is in the Europe side and I really fell in love with that place. Note that Istanbul is part of Europe and Asia at the same time. Please don't forget to join the cruise, that's was an awesome experience for me (Do it anyhow. The food there was yuuuuuuummy specially the street one. Once there don't forget to visit the mosque even if you are not Muslim but make sure to wear proper attire. Things to do : - Visit the rooftop cafe or bar - Have Turkish breakfast - Don't hesitate to visit both side of Turkey (Asian and Europe) - Visit the Grand Bazaar (shops outside Grand Bazaar are cheaper than the one inside the grand Bazaar) - When you are in the local shop don't hesitate de bargain 👌 😎 Have a safe trip to Turkey futur Traveler
