Visit the European side of Türkiye ✨🇹🇷

When I went to the European side of Turkey, the first thing that caught my eye was the harmony of ancient and modern. In the Eminonu district of Istanbul, the Bosphorus sway that can be seen as you cross the Galata Bridge gives a strong sense of the border with the Asian side. The experience of crossing the strait by boat was also special, with the refreshing sea breeze and the beautiful cityscape of Istanbul spreading out on the opposite bank. In addition, the Dolmabahce Palace in Besiktas was impressive with its gorgeous interior and beautiful gardens, giving a strong sense of the splendor of the Ottoman Empire. Especially in the evening, the sun setting over the sea painted the surroundings of the palace golden, which was breathtakingly beautiful. Walking from Taksim Square down the bustling Istaklal Street, the modern shopping street and historical buildings blended together, and I never got bored no matter where I walked.
