Hi kharjawi,

A new discussion was created as from your post on the Istanbul forum to optimise your chances of having some replies from members living in Istanbul.

Will your family be with you on this trip? For how long will you be in Istanbul?

Enjoy your holidays ;)

If it's your first time check out all the tourist/historic places:

Basilica Cistern
Aya Sofya
Topkapı Palace
Blue Mosque
Grand Bazaar

Galata Tower
Taskim Square
İstiklal Caddesi (Avenue)

I enjoy going to a part of Istanbul in the summer called Ortaköy, there are little market stores and you can take a boat trip up the bosphrous from there. Keeps you cool on a summers day.
