在GALATA桥上，看着来来往往的人车，想像这古老的城市经过几千年不同朝代，但桥下得MARMARA 海仍旧不变。下了桥后，我们搭上渡轮。游了博斯普鲁斯海峡。MARMARA 和博斯普鲁斯海的交汇处很壮观。
After having gone through the nightmare of shopping in Egypt a few years ago, my husband and I were a bit nervous about going to the Grand Bazaar. So glad we did! It is lively but not chaotic, and the shop keepers have good humor and are not pushy at all.

We went to the Topkapi palace as the first part of our visit for the day. To start with we were told it would only take 2 hours. This is in fact is almost impossible unless you wish to just zip past everything.
I love the grand bazaar but there are a few things you need to know before going in. Know where the gates are because they can be hard to find, know you need to bargain for everything (haggling is part of the fun), it can be overwhelming since the Grand Bazaar sees on average 300,000 people a day.
Topkapi Palace is a one of the best musseum in istanbul. Even the oldest and the best museum.
We had a great full day tour of Istanbul. The tour was booked as from a cruise ship arrival for 10 people. I must say we realy enjoyed we had a great time.
I would like to thank Taylan for promptly putting together a tour for us. Giving us your recommendations and being reliable. Eventhough you personally were not able to show us around due to privatetour commitments you made sure we were not left aside and found us a guide that you felt comfortable wIth. We had a fantastic time, thanks to you and your thoughtfulness!
The grand bazaar is big beyond belief. There are so many shops and corridors, you lose your bearings in this maze. At the same time you think how much stuff there is in the bazaar. As it is under a roof and there are so many people, there might be a shortage of air.
Grand Bazaar, one of those great let-downs that’s nowadays crawling with tourists, thieves & expensive trinkets. It was probably a much more interesting place 100 years ago when it resembled more of a flea market full of slaves, illegal arms & expensive silks.
