𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗧𝗢 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗚𝗢 𝗧𝗢 𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗕𝗨𝗟 💟 Istanbul is modern and ancient, conservative and free-wheeling. It has a vibrant nightlife and prominent mosques, cutting-edge art and traditional family-owned restaurants. 💟 The best time to visit is the spring or the autumn (April through May and September). The summers are hot and sticky and the winters are gray and drizzly. 💟 No visit to Istanbul is complete without a Turkish breakfast, a giant spread of eggs, yogurt, cheese, olives, jams, honey, cucumbers, tahini, and more. Make sure to try fresh grilled fish and meze (Turkish tapas) with a glass of raki, a strong anise-flavored liquor. 💟 Istanbul is full of traffic, but you can avoid it by taking public transportation—there’s a vast network of ferries, metros, trams, and buses that are available. 💟 Head up to the viewing platform on the roof of the Galata Tower at sunset for a terrific view of the Old City. The tea garden on top of Pierre Loti Hill also offers excellent photo opportunities.
