The flight time in Europe is often more than 8 hours. The transit flight can properly alleviate the pressure of long-distance flight. It is important to choose the appropriate transit point. Turkey crosses two continents and divides Istanbul into Europe and Asia with the Bosphorus as the dividing line. In part, it was once the capital of several generations of dynasties, and it is still prosperous and prosperous. It is also a tourist city in Turkey, with a variety of cultures, architectures, and cuisines.
In recent years, Istanbul has become a new focus for Hollywood blockbusters because of its unique urban appearance. Many directors have chosen this city as the stage for the protagonists in the film. Three of the "007" series have been photographed here.

Istanbul is a great city, history, architecture, arts good food and tourism at their finest .It’s impossible to not love Istanbul, my expectations were high but this city has fulfilled all the requirements. I hope to come back one day and stay much longer. Bursa is another magic place, full of history and beautiful architecture.

Love hate relationship with this city. One thing for sure the Camii (mosques) are beautiful. You have to go at least once in your life but be prepared to meet some not so hospitable people on the European side. The Asian side on the other hand is much much better. Food is great, the further you are from the tourist areas. Take advantage of the halva and Turkish delights because they have like never tried before!

My Highlights of Istanbul
1. Galata Tower
Amazing views of the city but can be a bit busy in the summer!
2. All the bazars
A great atmosphere and can get some bargains! The book bazar is very peaceful in comparison to the others which is nice to relax in.
3. Mosques
My first time inside a mosque! They are all very beautiful and provide headscarves at the doors for those without.
4. Kadiköy
It was fun to explore the less touristy side of Istanbul and this area has lots of cute cafes and a seaside walkway!

Breathtaking
What an amazing landmark to visit in Istanbul. The blues mosque is an amazing place to visit. The decor inside and the architecture is just breathtaking. It is a must visit. The outside is even more beautiful at night when the lights come on. The view from Bosporus at light on the cruise is just too good to miss. All the site in that vicinity are just beautiful and not to be missed.
I would recommand everyone to just visit Turkiye once in a life and you will not regret it at all..
Amazing views with alot of traditional places infact you will get everything from moutains to sea and from old traditional palace to new world infrastructure..

Istanbul, Constantinople, nova caput mundi
If you happen to seek a magical retreat that inspires you based on historical and cultural diversity, then Istanbul is a must in your bucket list.
This magical place is full of historical scenery that dates back to the old times of the east Roman empire, and then continued to glamour as the old capital of the ottoman empire up until the end of world war I.
The food culture is one of the most interesting aspects due to the east and west melting pot that will surely find an unforgettable way to your heart and taste buds, while you enjoy a traditional Turkish tea and luqum while you make friends with locals over an interesting game of tavla.
Areas like Balat are very lively with an undeniable vibe that creeps up on everyone visiting Istanbul with the aim of finding a nice vibe that is surely to captivate your heart and mind.
Turkish people can be very warm and friendly especially if you understand and respect their culture and customs, an open minded extrovert is surely to find it an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. which is why Istanbul has become one of my all time favourite destinations in the whole world.
And trust me when I tell you this as I've been a flight attendant so I've been around. you're welcome!

Hagia Sophia Istanbul
Beautiful mosque in Sultan Ahmet, Istanbul. Used to be a cathedral and some elements still remain. Amazing architectural beauty, a must visit in Istanbul. However, it may be better to visit in the evening, it is very busy in the afternoon with very long queues. Remember this is a place of worship so dress respectfully ❤️ A must visit in Istanbul, you can’t miss it. #istanbul

Istanbul is divided into the new old town, ## There are many feels, there are many famous attractions, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the underground water palace, and various monuments and obelisks are here, more lively than the new city. It is.
The big bazaar, the spice market can buy and buy, but here is a mix of fish and dragons, so pay attention to the wallet.
The scenery along the coastline is especially beautiful. When the weather is good, you can also browse by boat. The surrounding area is full of local cuisine and the barbecue is also authentic.
Or you can go to Independence Street and take a retro tram.

The charm of Istanbul is not only the combination of Europe and Asia, but also between the old mosques in the old town and Bazaar. It is scattered in every corner of the city and hidden in the fascinating shops.
Just down the stone street in the hip-hop area of Fati, Istanbul, the houses on both sides are preserved in their original form, and people sit quietly at the door and chat.
When I planned to leave, I passed a house. The door was crowded with people. The probe saw that it was an auction. My curiosity came up. The locals did not see us as tourists. Mind, warmly invite us to sit inside, if you encounter something you can sell.
When I walked into this auction, it seemed to cross the antique market in the last century and trade with ancient auctions. The auction price is very low, 5 lira can buy a delicate small wooden box, 40 lira buys various handwritten documents of the Ottoman period, 100 lira buys the Soviet period film camera, and all kinds of strange things, really I want to pack my brain and take it home.

Sultanahment Old City is the most beautiful place in Istanbul. Walk in the old town, the quaint bluestone street, the exquisite shops, the trams that pass by from time to time, a corner, meet different scenery.
Come to Istanbul to appreciate the Turkish spin dance, this is a very famous symbol of Turkey.
The origin of the Rotary Dance is in Konya, Konya. Many tourists will go to Konya to watch, but there are also many places in Sweden that have a long history of watching the spinning dance. It is recommended that the Sikel train station Sirkeci
