15 THINGS TO DO IN ISTANBUL!! 🇹🇷[SAVE & SHARE] 1. Visit Ortakoy, a lively area with food vendors serving waffles and baked potatoes and shopping! Beautiful views of Ortaköy mosque and Bosphorus Bridge. 2. Stop in at a lantern shop and marvel at the unique or custom, handmade pieces! 3. Visit Süleymaniye mosque- one of the largest mosques in Istanbul! 4. Relax at a rooftop restaurant for a drink with a view! I visited Mihrisah café and it has an amazing view of Süleymaniye mosque! @mihrisahcaferestaurant 5. Take a stroll by the waterfront in Karakoy 6. Visit a café and have Turkish tea! 7.

Visit Istiklal street and ride the vintage streetcar 10. Stop at a wine bar in Beyoglu, Sisli or Kadikoy districts 11. Have Turkish kebabs at a local restaurant! My fave is @munhasirdonerkebap 12.
