If I had not been born here at home, I would have loved to call Istanbul my home...

:cheers:

^^ I think that's the best compliment a city can get, I'm glad you liked the city. For me it seems impossible to not love this city and I'm lucky that I'm from Istanbul :cheers:

Awesome picture btw!

picture Nr 20 is my favourite, only in Turkey

picture Nr 20 is my favourite, only in Turkey

most of the balkan and mid eastern countries have charshi/bazaars as well :)

The pictues are viewable again, hopefully the bandwith stays oke this time and doesn't get exceeded again

I have found some pictures from june 2003 and I thought I lost them, hopefully I can find the pictures of 2006 as well
the quality of these pictures is a lot less because these photo´s where made with a small digital camera

İlk resimlerde evimi gördüm :D

It seems I will be visiting beautiful Istanbul again comming autumn, I just booked


I would like to explore the asian side some more and have a hotel on the asian side this time

suggestions where to go next are appreciated :cheers:

I can't believe it,
you saw the places that like anyone who lives in İstanbul, not as a tourist.
Its amazing!

You should be one of the first tourist who saw Ataşehir :D

You should definitely see Bostanci coast, moda and Bağdat avenue ^^

Also you should go to Süreyya Opera house at Kadıköy.

:)

You should definitely see Bostanci coast, moda and Bağdat avenue ^^

thanks for your reply :cheers:

Bostanci was already on my list to visit, it looks like a big harbour. do you know if you can take a ferry to buyukada island from there?

about bagdad avenue, it seems like an extreme long avenue, is it all shoppimg and bars?

and I think I have wandered arround in the Moda erea already , I think this will become a hotspot in istanbul with all the renovated buildings and small shops over there, a real nice erea to walk in

Also you should go to Süreyya Opera house at Kadıköy.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/ardac/5812192655/in/photostream

:)

that looks very nice :cheers:

I will look it up

thanks for the reply

excellent photos. You must truely love Istanbul to visit it as many times as you have.

Your photos are really stunning and great. I hope you enjoyed in Istanbul. I'm so wondering your comments about Istanbul, did you like it?

Istanbul is one of the most amazing cities in the world! Been there in 2011 for 6 days as well, but it's way to short offcourse. I see so many things on your pictures I havn't seen yet. I'm sure I will be back!

Thank you Time Lord, and yes I had very pleseant stay :cheers:

I would like to give comments about Istanbul but I am not very good in dutch writing, and I am even worse in english(forget about turkish ;) )

I see changes in Istanbul for the good or worse and that is good.

good thing is building on public transport in Istanbul, bad thing is removing railroads and not tel me ;)

you never know what to expect next, and I love that :cheers:

and the Akbil ofcourse

nice to see a fellow Zaankanter in here ;)

Awesome pictures, thank you for sharing them.

I've been to Istanbul for more than 15 times but I've always stayed at relatives. But this year I'm gonna bring 4 friends and since I've never been to Istanbul as a tourist I would like to ask you what you, as a tourist, appreciated the most. Thanks

^^

I would like to ask, what face of istanbul do you want to show to your friends

istanbul is old city an has been here well before the eastern roman empire, it is also a very modern city in my opinion

my humble advice would be, take a trip on any ferryboat crossing the bosporus, it doesn't matter where it goes :)
