Who says the Blue Mosque is the only thing to see in Istanbul? Visit Türkiye for the third time and find these ways to play that even the locals praise👇 🕌 Day 1: Travel through a thousand-year time tunnel 📍 7:00 Blue Mosque "Photography against the flow of people" • Tip: Arrive 1 hour earlier than tourists! The morning light shines on 260 stained glass windows, and the dome is unmanned 📍 11:00 Trivia about the Archaeological Museum • Must-see: The treasure of the museum, the "Gorgon Sarcophagus", use the AR function to see the dynamic relief 🌃 Accommodation recommendation: Stone House in the Old Town of Sultanahmet • A 15th-century Byzantine building converted into a B&B, with a rooftop terrace that can see Hagia Sophia and the Strait at the same time 🚢 Day 2: Magic Day in the Bosphorus 📍 9:00 Private Cruise Route • Choose the local route of the "Şehir Hatları" company, and cross the Asia-Europe dividing line for 20 liras 📍 15:00 Galata Tower "God's Perspective" • Don't climb the tower! Go around to Kemankeş Street in the back, and you will find four retro cafes with rooftops that offer views 🍴 Foodie hit: Karaköy Güllüoğlu • A 1949-old shop, you must try the pistachio crumbs + rose sauce baklava 🎭 Day 3: Renaissance on Independence Street 📍 10:00 Taksim Square "Easter Egg Game" • Find the "backwards artist" at the starting point of the red tram, and pay 5 lira to unlock the exclusive portrait cartoon 📍 14:00 Independence Street Hidden Dungeon • Go into the Markiz Pasaj arcade, the 1870 Art Nouveau dessert palace is beyond the movie 🌯 Street food: Balık Ekmek • Grilled fish burgers on fishing boats at Eminonu Pier, add lemon juice and hot sauce for the authentic way to eat! 🗿 Day 4: Byzantine Mysterious Code 📍 8:00 Hippodrome Obelisk "Puzzle Game" • Bring coins! Turn the bronze hole at the base of the Egyptian obelisk, and good luck will come according to legend 📍 12:00 Dark blockbuster of the underground water palace • Turn on the wide-angle + cold-tone filter on your phone, and use a 0.5x lens to shoot the oppressive feeling of the Medusa column 💥 The ultimate and unique experience: ✅ Take a ferry to the Usküdar district, and feed the seagulls in the strait for 5 liras ✅ Make an appointment for the Turkish bath "Şifa Hamamı", a marble bath table from a hundred years ago ✅ Explore the alleys behind the spice market at night, smoke hookah and watch the whirling dance ⚠️ Anti-scam guide: • Taxis require metering and navigation • Carry emir coins to prevent cats • Avoid prayer time in mosques
