"Adam is my hero"

"One of the most beautiful places in Sultanahmet district. Very nice park with flowers, bushes and trees, the previous Sultan park, the part of Topkapi Saray complex"

"Not perfect and quite expensive for this type"

"Sirkeçi station has a funny museum, it’s free. At the station you can buy an Istanbulkart, but then you have to activate it with HES which can be tricky. Card costs 13 TL, use 20 TL banknote only"

"My favourite fish place in this city. Beware — toilet is awful :)"

"At the moment you can’t buy an Istanbulkaart from kiosks here, only 3 time pass or top-up the existing Istanbulkaart. 3 time pass costs 17 tl"
