the city looks pretty chaotic and dirty.

the city is (and i mean the old city) is really chaotic and dirty!!
this is what the tourists want see from istanbul! ;) :cheers:

yes... i forgot...
in this part are only tourists and poor people... you will newer see rich people there...

I hope you did not put all those poor area photos on purpose, because istanbul is not that..

Adamlar guzel resimler bulamadilarda boyle istanbulun kotu yerlerini postaliyorlar?

Bak cevap olarak yabancilar ne yaziyor!

But it's great too!I love Istanbul,I wanna discover it soon as possible!

If you look closely you will see that Istanbul is not dirty. Thus, because there are street sellers it does not make a city dirty - it is simply like a shopping mall outside. The shopkeepers in Turkey are very clean: Each morning they are cleaning the streets in front of their shop.

Great pictures!

Impressive!

I have been to Istanbul and there is no place like it anywhere. it is not dirty....trust me, most parts of New York City is worse than what you see here.

Nice set of pics! :cheers:

Nice. Still, not quite EU yet...

Those pictures are taken from the old part of Istanbul. I am a little bit dissapointed that cityskyscrapers is only posting photos that can give a wrong idea about Istanbul. Maybe he has also pictures from the other "clean and not chaotic" side of Istabul.

maybe better...
