What to do and see in Besiktas, Turkey: The Best Nature & Parks
The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Gülhane park was beautiful in summer. It was different from my last visit: Unfortunately, there were way more tourists than locals. You can see how people enjoy life outside. Nevertheless we also witnessed that men from one special country speaking one special language tried to contact women who were walking along the park alone. How sad!

Bebek is a lovely up market area in Istanbul, along the Bosphorus. It has some amazing cafes and and boutique shops and a long stroll across the promenade is always enjoyable.
