A sweet Tour in Istanbul before Sunset

Google Maps contribution stories

After discovering my room in the hotel , I have picked my backpack then have been for a tour in this sunny sweet weather…The hotel has a featured location in Beyoğlu near to Istiklal’s street in Istanbul… (There will be a separate post for this street soon)…The street wasn’t crowded at all…

According to the 1st rule of free roams in everywhere , You should have GPS as an essential assistant…Thus , I have bought a TurkCell SIM Card including international calls and internet…Turned on GPS and moved in the streets…Streets are paved with stones and you can see featured classic European style buildings around…Sweet cozy Cafes in your right and left hand sides at which warm sun rays spread through…Singing birds are flying over side trees…A secret scent is smelt and you don’t know it’s source 1f603.png:D…
Then , I have reached Galata Tour (Galata Kulesi)…A really beautiful towers which was built in the middle ages with featured architectural style…

I liked Graffiti drawings in this district , specially the Panda’s drawing beside a cafe & restaurant near to Galata Kulesi…My free roam duration has extended to about 2 hours through sharp up and down ramps and finally I have reached Golden Horn area in the sea side before sunset…and it really needs another separate post to describe it…1f603.png:smiley:

Hi @M_Yones

Istiklal is a very famous Street in Istanbul and can be very very busy in fact I’d say you were lucky that it wasn’t crowded. I was there a few years ago.
