Explore the diversity of Istanbul!

Description

I will take you on a walking tour starting in beautiful Balat, home of the Greek-Orthodox community and full of stunning historical buildings. After a traditional Turkish breakfast on a rooftop terrace with view over the Golden Horn, I will take you around the colourful neighborhood (get your cameras ready for the perfect Instagram shots!). From here, we proceed to my favourite mosques that are not only some of the oldest in Istanbul, but also have an amazing view over the Golden Horn, and won't appear in any guide book. An absolutely hidden treasure! We will have some çay in one of the cozy cafes in the narrow passages around the world-famous Istanbul university. Then it is time for some shopping at Eminönü! Let's throw ourselves in the busy streets of the Grande Bazaar and get some souvenirs for your beloved ones. Last but not least, we will have the chance to chat over your further plans in Istanbul over a balik ekmek (fish bread) and enjoy a Sahleb (hot, sweet, milky drink and perfect to heat up for further adventures). During our tour, I will get you familiar with the Istanbul way of life: a city full of diversity! You will be amazed by the different worlds you will be exploring within a short walk!
