Top 5 Activities to Do in Istanbul
Istanbul, which connects Europe and Asia, located in the Marmara region, is a center of culture, art, economy, trade and tourism. Even from this, it can be easily understood how many things can be done in Istanbul.
When you visit Istanbul, you may have difficulty understanding the size of the city at first look. Especially foreign visitors are stunned by the abundance of options when preparing a list of activities to do in Istanbul. No need for confusion, I've already prepared one for you!
1- Bosphorus Tour
One of the best things to do in Istanbul is to go on a Bosphorus tour. If you want to visit the Bosphorus by boat or ferry, you will encounter two options.
One of them is to participate in tours lasting 1.5 hours by Turyol boat. Turyol's Bosphorus tour boats depart from Eminönü and Üsküdar. After continuing to the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge, the boat return.
The second option is to go to Anadolu Kavağı with the special excursion Ferry of the City Lines departing from Eminönü. This activity will last about 6 hours and take up your whole day. However, the 3-hour break in Anadolu Kavağı is fun. You can eat fish near by the sea.
2-Visiting Historical Monuments In Sultanahmet
The second activity you need to do in Istanbul is to visit Sultanahmet. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace are all historical monuments is in there. It offers beautiful Instagram posts to those who want to visit historical monuments in Sultanahmet and take photos in Istanbul.
3- Shopping at the Grand Bazaar
Grand Bazaar the oldest and largest grand bazaar in the world is located in the center of Istanbul. Like a giant measured Maze, The Grand Bazaar with about 60 streets and more than three thousand shops is a unique place to see in Istanbul.
Many products are sold in the Grand Bazaar. For example, valuable fabric, jewelry, weapons, antiques. from families that have specialized in their job for generations, you can shop with complete confidence.
4- Visit The Galata Tower
Galata Tower, with its hundreds of years of history, is a tower that you must go (but be careful! The legends say that you marry the person you go up to the tower with). You can watch the Bosphorus and the Maiden's Tower side by side. Although the entrance fees are not very high, the density rate increases towards the evening, inside the tower becomes very crowded from 12 to 17:00 hours.
I think it makes more sense for you to go with your partner and friend in the morning, rather than alone. You should have breakfast at the top of Galata Tower in front of beautiful view, 300 meters high, where Hezarfen Ahmet Çelebi jumped to fly, you can take nice selfies.
5- Going To The Historic Turkish Bath
The Haseki Hürrem Sultan is the most beautiful Turkish bath that has been restored and added to tourism in recent years.Bath, which is adjacent to Hagia Sophia. Also adjacent to Sultanamet Park, this bathhouse is located on the 16th Street. It was built by Mimar Sinan in the 16. Century.
