Hi guys! We plan to have few days vacation in Istanbul. Do you know any good agencies but with reasonable rates? I also want to know the best places to go and to shop for authentic products for souvenirs, authentic cuisines and clothes coz I have read that clothing is much cheaper there than in Egypt. I know that it will take time to learn more about the country that's why I'm planning ahead. Much better if you could give me useful tips and your experiences with the travel agency, airline, accommodation, transportation, food, culture, people, etc.
Thanks a lot! :-)

U really do not need an agency
You need to read a lot about Istanbul and will be fine.
I recommend u stay near to taksim square so u r near to the metro line, or in sultan ahem, which is served by the metro too.
Sometime u get good rate for 5 star hotels on the net. Example, intercontinental hotel 100 euro in Jan
This is cheaper than most 4 star hotels
Take care
