Istanbul is not only the second capital of Türkiye, but also a unique city where I can find everything for me. I remember when I first moved and found the answers to my questions about transportation, accommodation and human needs in the city. Istanbul is full of many features that make my life easier and more colorful.

One of the most enjoyable experiences in this fascinating city is a ferry trip connecting the Asian and European sides. This journey over the sea not only offers the opportunity to go from one place to another, but also to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and dream. While watching the dance of the seagulls in the sky, watching the magnificent view on both sides of the city is a real source of peace.

Grab a legendary döner kebab, carved off a giant spinning skewer and nestled in warm pita bread, from a friendly street vendor. Then, around the corner, indulge in a juicy gourmet burger and craft beer while enjoying stunning city views from a rooftop restaurant. For a taste of history, head to a traditional confectionery and savor lokum (Turkish delight), a centuries-old sweet treat. Afterwards, explore a modern patisserie and sample their innovative take on these classic desserts.

This unique experience offered by Istanbul allows you to leave the rush of life aside and take time for yourself. Seeing the city from a bird's eye view and experiencing the feeling of being on both continents at the same time is so unforgettable.

There is also a detail that complements unforgettable moments: A cup of tea. While wandering the streets of Istanbul, sitting in the tea gardens or feeling the coolness of the wind by the Bosphorus, a cup of tea allows you to fully experience the atmosphere of the city.

Every moment is an adventure to discover the rich history, culture and beauties of Istanbul. The city impresses and fascinates you with a different aspect every day. I would like to experience all the streets of Istanbul! It's full of stories and amazing views!
