NISANTASI IN ISTANBUL

Hi everyone! This time, I would like to talk to you about my favorite place in Istanbul. This place is called Nisantasi. Nisantasi is the place where I grew up and went to kindergarten and high school. Nisantasi is huge and you can find everything you look for in that area. It is a place where many elite people like to live. When you go there, it is more likely that you will see many people that dress very chic and fashionable. The place is very high fashion and luxury. I can say that there are very good quality cafes where you can sit with your friends or families have a coffee or lunch or etc. For example, one of my favorite cafes that I like to go are Beymen café and Armani Café. They are very good quality cafes and they have their store inside where you can shop. There are bars and night clubs to have good time at night with friends. Also, there are many different kinds of stores all around Nisantasi if you like to go shopping. You can find all the worlds famous and good brands in there. I love going there and walk around or sit somewhere to chill with my friends. I always have a good time in Nisantasi.

CIRAGAN PALACE IN ISTANBUL

Hi everyone! I gave you many information about Istanbul’s nice places and entertainment. How about some information of where to stay? There are amazing hotels in Istanbul by the Bosphorus. They are all expensive hotels but definitely worth it to stay or visit for branch or dinner! My favorite one is called “Ciragan Palace.” It is the most popular hotel in the Bosphorus. The hotel is very good quality and they have the best service. When I am in Istanbul, I like to go there for breakfast or lunch and I can tell you that this place is the best place if you are looking for a branch in Istanbul. The foods are amazing and delicious. The desserts are very good. I love eating there and the birds chirping around me.  There is a pool in front of it right by the Bosphorus, and you can go there if you like after lunch or breakfast. The hotel is very big and you can find the best stores inside the hotel. I have never stayed in there, but I know people that stayed and they all love it. If you are in Istanbul and you stay in Ciragan Palace, I bet you cannot complain, because it is guaranteed that you will have a great time in Istanbul.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE IN ISTANBUL

Hi everybody! I would like to talk to you about my fun experience that I Ioved this summer in Istanbul. I was invited to a dinner with my friends and the dinner was in a boat in the Bosphorus. I was very happy because I never knew there was a restaurant like that in the Bosphorus, and I found out that it opened this year.  The boat is very well decorated; inside the boat is very chic and good quality. They have all different kinds of food and they are all delicious. They serve you any drink you want. When you start to get served and eat, the boat moves all around the Bosphorus for about four hours. Meanwhile you eat and the boat moves around the sea, different kinds of belly dancers come and dance around you, so you dance with them or watch them and it is so much fun.  When I was there, there was also a guy that was a belly dancer and it was so interesting to watch him! That night was very unforgettable and I think it is great for a tourist that wants a tour in the Bosphorus. Imagine a tour in the sea with all cultural foods, entertainment, and the view of the beautiful city!

BEAUTIFUL BAGDAT AVENUE IN ISTANBUL

Hi everyone! This time I would like to talk to you about one of the most popular places of Istanbul, and this place is called Bagdat Avenue. Have you ever heard of or been in Champ Elysee in Paris? If you did, you can predict it, because Bagdat Avenue is very similar to Champs Elysee to me. It is smaller than that but very special and one of the top places to go in Istanbul.  There are beautiful trees throughout all the Bagdat Avenue, and they all shine beautiful at night just like Champs Elysee in the winter time for Christmas and New Years, and it looks amazing. It takes place in the Asian side of Istanbul. You can find all of Istanbul’s popular stores, cafes, restaurants or pubs in there.  It is very high fashion. When I go there, I like to spend my whole day shopping and hanging out with my friends in a nice café or restaurant. That is what we look for when we have a day to have a good time right? :) So if you ever visit Istanbul, I would suggest you to not miss Bagdat Avenue, and enjoy your day window shopping, shopping, or eating in a nice place over there! :)

Did You Say Shopping? :)

`

Hi everybody! How about shopping Istanbul? Everyone I know that visits Turkey, tell me that they love shopping over there. One of my favorite places in Istanbul is called “Akmerkez.” I love shopping in there, because I can find all the good quality stuff in the mall, and there are so many beautiful restaurants inside that I like to go and eat or have coffee with friends or family.  The mall is very big, and everything is very modern. They always design the mall for the new season inside and outside, and it looks gorgeous and shiny at night, so you would not miss this place for sure if you pass by. On the other hand, there is a new mall that is built like two years ago, and this place is definitely my new favorite place to go shopping. It is called “Istinye Park.” I love going there, because the place is very good quality. You can find all the good brands and everything that you look for.  Inside the mall, the first floor is the modern Turkish bazaar and the other floors are full of different types of stores and cafeterias. You should not miss these places if you look for good shopping in Istanbul! :)

THE MAIDEN'S TOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOSPHORUS

Hi everyone! This time I would like to tell you about a very nice and historical place of Istanbul. In Turkish, it is called “Kiz Kulesi” and in English it is called “The Maiden’s Tower.” It is a small island in the middle of the Bosphorus in Istanbul. It has a very interesting story, which is about a father, who is sultan, and his daughter. According to the legend, an oracle tells sultan that his daughter would get killed by a poisonous snake in her eighteenth birthday.  That’s why sultan makes this land for his daughter to protect and keep her away from the danger of the snake. That way, only the father can visit his daughter in the island. In her birthday, the father brings her a basket of exotic fruits, and an asp gets out from that basket and bits her. Unfortunately she dies in her father’s arms and the oracle is right. This is the story of this place. The Maiden’s Tower has a very nice restaurant inside in the first floor, and the second floor is a café. Believe it or not, I have not visited this island, but I really want to, but you should see how it shines beautiful at night!

HOW ABOUT THE NIGHT LIFE IN ISTANBUL?

Hi everyone! This time I would like to introduce you the nightlife in Istanbul. If you are a person that enjoys going out at night to good places and clubs, then you would definitely love the night life over there. There are amazing night clubs in Istanbul. My favorite places are Reina, Sortie and Anjelique. They are all by the Bosphorus and have amazing view. They are all huge and good quality clubs, and they are the main most popular clubs in Istanbul. I love going out at night with my friends and have dinner before in these places. They are all restaurants during the day and clubs during the night. It is super nice that smoking is not allowed in closed area of anywhere in Istanbul, so when you go to these clubs, you are not breathing the smoke you breath the air! I love that. Of course, smokers would not like that, but they have an option. They can smoke outside! That way everyone can be happy. The nightlife is so much fun, and they play different kinds of music, such as House English or Turkish music. If you happen to visit there one day, and want to get entertained, then please consider my suggestions. Have a great weekend everyone! :)
