Customized guided Turkey tours
Customized Istanbul Tours will start with a visit to Istanbul Modern Art Gallery where you can see really interesting art pieces. Then we will wander down the Istiklal Street and spice our day up with Turkish coffee.
In Turkish we use the word “kahvaltı” for breakfast. It is a made up word – made out of kahve, “coffee” and “alti” – underneath. It means the food you have should be before you have your coffee. We won’t simply have coffee. It will be accompanied with fortune telling. You cannot imagine how many things can be seen in that little cup. For example, a trip to Bulgaria, Bulgaria private tours Kazanlak – a small town in the Rose Valley. Why not?!
Istiklal Street
If you like to wander down the Istiklal Street, which is the busiest street of Istanbul, with us please contact us so we can discuss the details. While there, we will visit the St. Antuan (Catholic) Church.
One of our stops will be the fish market. In olden days people used to hold fish auctions where fishermen would bring their fish and try to sell it for the best price. In those days you could easily understand who was interested in which fish because if they wanted to buy that fish, they would never look at it straight 🙂 Auctions are no longer held but still you can do some bargaining and you can easily ask a restaurant to cook the fish for you. Of course you have to pay money for it.
It is about the time for lunch. We will have our lunch in a local restaurant.
After we try some delicious Turkish food (which we will enjoy every time we are on), for dessert we will go to Moda where they serve the best ice-cream in the world. You need knife and fork to eat it.
Being the busiest street of Istanbul, Istiklal Street also has lots of shopping options.
We will finish customized Istanbul tours by visiting a modern shopping centre. (And why not start planning our next trip to another big city, Sofia, Bulgaria. Although it is on one continent only, Europe, Sofia will surely surprise you with its history, culture, sightseeing. Sofia walking tour)
Back to Istanbul and Istiklal Street. If you like to carry on until night on Istiklal Street, you are more than welcome. If not, we will take you back to your hotel.
