Overview of the tour in Istanbul

The European side of Istanbul is overcrowded and over-rated. Most locals prefer life on the Asian side of Istanbul because of its unique diversity.

We usually meet on the European side because most foreign tourists stay there and cross over to the Asian side to get a glimpse of life through the lens of locals living there. Stopping along places, locals frequently use local transportation, preferably not during rush hour but along the coastline to three diverse locations where locals like to socialize.

We discuss the history of these places and their importance to the Turkish people.

This activity includes:

Eminonu Pier Kadikoy
Local transportation excluding Ferry & Bus
Breakfast/ Snack (Simit & Tea )

Meeting point

Eminönü Pier

Open in Google Maps

On arrival

Eminönü Pier is usually where we will meet. Of course, they can contact me directly from my mobile number. Will greet you with a Simit a local baked good similar to a bagel.

Things to note

We will see the three neighborhoods of monotheism culture in Istanbul and how it affects local life in Istanbul. Of course, on the Asian side of Istanbul the better side of the city according to locals.
