Hello my friends. Back in Istanbul again. Honestly missed this city like crazy. This time, I am traveling completely solo. If everything goes according to plan, I want to stay in Turkey for a longer period first enjoying Istanbul and then heading down to the southern coasts. Istanbul’s old airport Sabiha Gökçen, is on the Asian side. The new one is on the European side and it is really massive. Both of them are accessible by metro. You will require an Istanbulkart, which costs approximately 165 lira, a little more than 3 euros. I’ve already visited Hagia Sophia and Istiklal, so I’ll keep it short this time. And I wished to explore various places. First on my itinerary were the Fener and Balat neighborhoods. I visited magnificent mosques and churches that tourists hardly ever frequent, walked along the coast and crossed over to the Asian side of Istanbul, climbed up to one of Turkey's most extraordinary mosques to enjoy the stunning view and the legacy of the Magnificent century.
