This is a list for my favourite places in Istanbul. My favourite area in Istanbul is Karakoy. It is where the Galata tower is. This region has a lot of upcoming hipster stores and cafe. It is a bit touristy on the high street. But streets on the lower hill are very nice to explore. (This list didn’t mention places in the Golden Horn - where the big mosques are. Because I personally don’t enjoy that region so much.)
