Istanbul is a city that feels like a story—one where every street, every sunset over the Bosphorus, and every call to prayer from ancient minarets adds another chapter. It’s a place where the past and present live side by side, where the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque stand in quiet conversation with the bustling bazaars and modern cafés.
Mornings begin with the scent of freshly baked simit and the sight of fishermen lined up along Galata Bridge. Afternoons invite you to lose yourself in the maze of the Grand Bazaar, where shopkeepers greet you like old friends. As the sun dips, the Bosphorus shimmers, and the city’s heartbeat slows—perfect for a ferry ride between two continents, with a warm cup of çay in hand.
Istanbul isn’t just a place you visit; it’s a city you feel. It lingers in your heart long after you've left, like the echo of a distant call to prayer.
