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.

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! :)

One Day In Istanbul - Grand Bazaar

Hello everyone! Let’s start off with the historical places to go as a tourist in Istanbul. Have you ever heard of the Grand Bazaar? If you would ask me of what to do or where to go in Istanbul as a tourist, then I would definitely suggest you to visit there. The Grand Bazaar is very popular all around the world, and that place is definitely so much fun to shop! The bazaar consists of thousands of shops, it is very big and that place is the first place that tourists like to choose when they visit Istanbul. When you are in the bazaar, you can find all cultural, artistic things of the Turkish culture, such as Turkish carpets, accessorizes, antiques, pipes, hookahs, and all sorts of other things. Also, there are many nice, cultural restaurants in and around there that you can try, and it is so much fun to go there at night for dinner, because while you eat, violin players come around you and they start to sing Turkish songs, and make you happy. All the foods are delicious of course. Imagine a day that you are shopping in the day, getting to know Turkish culture, and eating in a nice restaurant, where they play with violins and sing you Turkish songs! Fun, isn’t it? That would be one of your plans if you ever like to visit Istanbul one day. I miss Istanbul already! :)

Introducing Istanbul to Everyone!

Hi everyone! Firstly I would like to introduce myself to you! My name is Eda, and I am from Turkey, Istanbul. I moved to Miami seven years ago, but I always go back and forth to my country for vacation every year, and enjoy every single second of it! I just came back from Istanbul two weeks ago, and I had an amazing time. I would really tell you that if you are a person that loves travelling, you should definitely visit Istanbul one day. I am not telling you that Istanbul is a wonderful city just because I am from there, but honestly if you really happen to travel to Istanbul, you will see what I am really talking about.

Generally, I can tell you that Istanbul is a big city. The population of the city is about 15 million. You can imagine how crowded the city is. Istanbul is a very exotic city, and there are two bridges that connect Asia with Europe. It is very cool that you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Bosphorus, and you can see the other side of the city in front of you. You would love the shopping, eating in exotic places, going around historical places, and the people in the city. It is a different culture, and I hope you will enjoy it with me with my future posts! :)
