Do you want do discover one of the coolest districts of 2018 according to Time-out?
While in Istanbul, of course you should go and see the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque etc. However while those places are like the outer beauty of Istanbul, we offer you the cultural, culinary, sophisticated inner beauty of Istanbul.
Let's take you with a local of Kadikoy and to a 4 hour journey amongst vibrant streets, gourmet restaurants, quality cafes and a lovely atmosphere.
We will start our trip at Bahariye Street and then move towards Moda taking pitstops at local shops, cafes and chocolatiers. At the end we will take a walk on the sea side to eventually watch the sun setting behind Topkapi Palace on the other side which will be a perfect seal for a beautiful day.
LA Times - 2018:
"But then there’s Kadikoy. Perched on the Asian side of the Bosporus Strait — which splits this city of 15 million in half — the neighborhood represents the steadfastly secular and tolerant face of this nation.
Its markets bustle, stocked with fresh seafood. Groups gather at restaurants, sipping on raki — an aniseed-flavored alcoholic drink — and enjoying calamari and Turkish appetizers, or mezze, long into the evening.
Cafes offer tarot readings and thick Turkish coffee. Street-side salesmen peddle posters of famous films. Comic book shops are stocked with “Rick and Morty” T-shirts and collectible “Star Wars” figurines."
"Located on the Marmara Sea coast on the Asian side of Istanbul, the Kadıköy district has soared in popularity over the past few years. Hundreds of new bars, cafés, restaurants, design studios and shops have opened here, making the area a must-see for those really wanting to get a feel of how the city hangs out these days, with a more relaxed vibe than the bustling European side."
