Istanbul day 1 [26/7/22] 📸🫶🏼 1) happy girly exploring a new city (very very old city actually) 🕌 2) a traditional Turkish dumpling for lunch (I expected it to be sweet but it was quite salty and I loved it) 🥟 3) the view from a window on the way up the Galata Tower 🪟 4) a magical photo of @mariajblogs and I looking like we like each other on a super busy street which we managed to make look somehow calm 👯‍♀️ 5) looking out into Taksim Square from Ataturk Cultural Centre 👀 6) some home truths for @mariajblogs 😔 7) inside one of the many galleries at AKM 🎭 8) pretty streets 🌿 9) very strong Turkish coffee (with a side of tiramisu) ☕️ 10) a cursed image of a scary figure from Turkish cinema... and a man with a long beard [these photos were taken on a press trip with @goturkiye as Maria’s +1/designated photographer, general assistant and bully by the looks of this caption xoxo]
