Istanbul, Turkey + Add a trip

street cats of istanbul

I've been there for Forum İstanbul 2009. 2 days I enjoyed foods and drinks in there while I was attending to conference.It was very nice to been at there

I must say Hotel Hyatt is a nice hotel to be stayed in. Though it is not very close to the attractions of the city but it is not a big issue as you can have a taxi for that. The rooms are quite spacious and the staff is very friendly. Even the room service is fantastic. I enjoyed a lot staying there.

Kiz Kulesi is a very nice place and the food is good allthough the music was very loud.

To catch the boat take the tram to the last station and walk to the docks. There are many boats leaving there but the one that goes to Kiz Kulesi is to the left.

This contemporary hotel has good wifi coverage on every floor (and it's fast as long as no other neighbor is torrenting it to death), nice decor, atmospheric sauna, gym & swimming pool in the basement floor and well located from main attractions and shopping. Great choice for the price!

This fish restaurant located at a corner street near Galata tower has only two tables: yet it is one of the best fish restaurants in Istanbul as far as the food is concerned. I tried five different dishes and all of them were superb and the price was rock bottom. When asked for more, the owner had a "special" under his sleeves: fish chips made on location covered with sesame seeds for dipping with delicious seasonings. Much recommended. If the place is full, take some takeaway and eat on the bench near Galata tower.

This is a new Hotel in the middle of the Bazaar Quarter. It has a really good full SPA where everything is included in the price except the Hamam. It has two different swimming pools and jacuzzi in the room. It added a lavish Turkish feel to our trip... definitely recommended.

One of the most amazing views of the sunset in Istanbul
