Istanbul through my eyes
Gezilecek yerler
Topkapi Palace, located in the Historical Peninsula, which is the most touristic region of Istanbul, should of course be at the top of the list of places to visit in Istanbul. Located in Sarayburnu in the Fatih district, Topkapı Palace was built after the conquest of Istanbul and served as the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire for 400 years.
There were also intrigues and sad times in the palace, which witnessed the glorious history of the Ottoman Period. Topkapi Palace, which was turned into a museum on April 3, 1924, is also the first museum of the Republic of Turkey. It is one of the largest palace museums in the world, as it covers an area of 300,000 square meters and hosts approximately 300,000 archival documents.
When you go to visit the museum, you can see the Harem section, the Cardigan-ı Saadet Office, the Privy Room, Babü's Saade and the Garden of the Mansions. You should also visit the Istanbul Library, which houses the portraits, clothes and weapons of the sultans. You can visit the palace between 10:00 and 17:30 on weekdays, and between 10:30 and 17:30 on weekends, except Tuesdays.

The Blue Mosque, the most famous mosque in Istanbul, is very famous not only among domestic tourists but also among foreign tourists. Foreign tourists know the mosque as the Blue Mosque, which means Blue Mosque. The most important reason for this is that the interior of the mosque is furnished with 21 thousand 43 Iznik tiles and has a deep blue appearance.
The mosque, which was built by Sedefkar Mehmet Ağa, one of Mimar Sinan's students in the 17th century, on the orders of Sultan Ahmet I, is located right across from Hagia Sophia. The Blue Mosque has 16 balconies and these 16 balconies symbolize that Sultan Ahmet I was the 16th ruler of the Ottoman Empire. The diameter of its dome, which is 43 meters high, is 23.5 meters. When all these and the complex of the mosque come together, the Blue Mosque is among the largest structures in Istanbul. Since the mosque is open for worship, it can be very crowded on Fridays and religious holidays. For this reason, when you go for a tour to see the mosque from an architectural point of view, you can prefer days that can be quieter.

Among the places to visit in Istanbul, the Grand Bazaar is the place where you can find all the textures of Turkey together. The bazaar in Beyazıt is known as the Grand Bazaar by foreign tourists.

When Istanbul is mentioned after Sultanahmet Square, Taksim Square comes to mind. Taksim Square, which is one of the most lively points of the city, is in the shape of a circle and there is the Republic Monument right in the middle. One side of this monument, which was built in 1928, tells about the War of Independence and the other side about Turkey after the proclamation of the Republic. On the side of the war, Atatürk stands with his soldiers, while on the other side İsmet İnönü and Fevzi Çakmak are standing in their civilian clothes.
Celebrations are also held in the square, which is lively at all hours of the day. Taksim Square gets extremely crowded, especially in the first minutes when we celebrate the arrival of the new year. Of course, the square has changed a lot over the years. In fact, new arrangements will be made in the square in the coming years, but no matter how much it changes, Taksim always remains one of the first places that visitors come to Istanbul. In fact, Taksim hotels are the most preferred accommodation options due to their proximity to many attractions.

We talked about the famous streets of the European Side, now it's time for Bağdat Caddesi, the most famous street of the Anatolian Side. Known as the Anatolian Side version of Istiklal Avenue, Bağdat Avenue actually has a much different and modern feel than Istiklal.
Bagdat Street, which is connected to Kadıköy Municipality, is approximately 14 kilometers long. On this long street, there are stores of famous brands and many famous restaurants. Of course, there are options for every budget on the street. Since there are wide sidewalks on both sides, the traffic of the street, where you can be comfortable while walking, can be one-way and sometimes quite congested

There are many places that we can put at the top of the list of places to visit in Istanbul and it is very difficult to choose, but Hagia Sophia deserves to be in the first place. Hagia Sophia, built by the Eastern Roman Emperor Constantius in 360, is one of the oldest cathedrals in the world.
Known as Megale Ekklesia at that time, Hagia Sophia was closest to its present appearance as a result of the works of Anthemios of Tralles and Isidoros of Miletos, who were commissioned by Emperor Justinian. Hagia Sophia, whose construction was completed in 5 years and 10 months with the work of two architects, was the cathedral that was built in the shortest time in the world compared to other structures of that time.
In the 5th century, the building was named Hagia Sophia, and it carried this name until Istanbul was conquered in 1453. After Fatih Sultan Mehmet conquered Istanbul, he ordered Hagia Sophia to be a mosque and the minarets of the building were built by Mimar Sinan. Hagia Sophia, which became a museum in 1935, was reopened for worship in 2020. If you want to visit the Hagia Sophia Museum, you can visit it between 09:00-19:00 in summer and 09:00-17:00 in winter, except Mondays.

Sultanahmet Square is the starting point of touristic tours in Istanbul. At the same time, touristic Sultanahmet hotels are located around this square. The square, which was used as a hippodrome during the years when the Roman Empire ruled the region, was also a hippodrome when it was under the rule of the Byzantine Empire. That's why it was known as the Horse Square.
In those days, the local people always gathered in this square and had fun. Obelisks, the remains of which can still be seen today, such as the Obelisk, the Serpent Column and the Knitted Obelisk were used to divide the hippodrome into two. Nowadays, they are among the most important elements of the photographs taken in Sultanahmet Square.
The square got its current name after the Blue Mosque, one of the first mosques that comes to mind when talking about places to visit in Istanbul, was built in 1616. After seeing the square, you should definitely visit the mosque. After the mosque, you should continue your tour with places to visit such as Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Ibrahim Pasha Palace, German Fountain and Hagia Eirene Church. Of course, you should also taste the famous Sultanahmet meatballs here. If you come back without eating this meatball, you will not have come to Istanbul.

When it comes to places to visit in Istanbul, of course, the Prince Islands come to mind. The Prince Islands are one of the most beautiful places where you can feel as if you are very close to Istanbul and far away from Istanbul. Büyükada is the largest of the Prince Islands.
The most preferred beaches of Büyükada, which are generally visited to swim in the summer months; Princess Bay Beach, Aya Nikola Public Beach and Nizam Beach. If you are going to the island in a season when you cannot swim, there are many places to visit. For example, it is very enjoyable to go to Aya Yorgi Church, which is at the highest point of the island. Built in 1751, the church is also one of Turkey's two pilgrimage destinations. Islands Museum, Virgin Mary Church and Reşat Nuri Güntekin's House are also places you can stop by while touring the island by bicycle.
Getting to the island is pretty easy. Ferries depart from popular districts such as Kadıköy, Bostancı, Kartal, Beşiktaş and Eminönü and reach the island in a reasonable time. However, Büyükada can be very crowded on weekends when the weather gets hot. If you want to be away from the crowds, you can choose to go on weekdays.

When we talk about the cultural mosaic of our country that feeds on different cultures, Balat is one of the places where the reflections of this complex mosaic can be observed in the best way. The district of Fatih district has hosted many people from different cultures from past to present. This is the biggest reason why Balat has a multicultural structure. The district is full of religious buildings of different faiths, colorful houses and unique streets that must be seen. As a matter of fact, this complicated region is one of the places that should not be missed in Istanbul.
You can also go to Balat during your trip and surrender to the unique smell of coffee in one of the 3rd generation coffee shops in the district, the number of which is increasing day by day. You can take photos that you will enjoy on your social media accounts in the colorful streets, and you can buy gifts that reflect traces of different cultures and present them to your loved ones. At this point, I would like to add that while you are in Balat, you should not leave without seeing the Orthodox Patriarchate, Red School, and Merdivenli Yokuş.

he region surrounded by the Byzantine walls, Golden Horn and Marmara is Fatih in the Historical Peninsula. Neighboring the district of Eyüp in the north, the Golden Horn in the northeast, the Marmara Sea in the south, Zeytinburnu in the west and Bayrampaşa in the northwest, Fatih has the appearance of a peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides. This geography, which has hosted many civilizations in its thousands of years of history, is the most important historical, touristic and commercial center of Istanbul today. The region is called Suriçi Istanbul.
The region, which is a gateway between Asia and Europe, has hosted various settlements since the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze ages. The first finds related to the history of the Historic Peninsula are finds from the Neolithic age and were unearthed in Yenikapı during the Marma©ray excavations. The Neolithic period, which coincides with 6500 BC, is a period when human beings started agricultural production for the first time, and plants and animals were domesticated. In this period, the consciousness of writing, calendar, mathematics, building art and city-building developed.
In the excavations carried out under Sultanahmet Square in Sarayburnu, finds dating back to 5000-3000 BC were unearthed. In the light of these findings, it can be said that the region has been inhabited for about 8500 years.
The first important civilization in the Historic Peninsula was the Megarians, who wanted to be a part of the Mediterranean trade network and benefit from the wheat trade in the east of the Mediterranean. The Megarians settled in the Sarayburnu region between 660-670 BC in order to establish a colony. It is also known that Thracians, Phrygians and Bithynians lived in this region before the Megarians. According to the Spartan tradition, the Megarians enslaved the people living in this region and established the city of Byzantium. This city is fed by maritime trade and the port of this city is Prosphorion Port, the first bay when returning from Sarayburnu to the Golden Horn.
Rome, which was founded about 100 years before Byzantion, grew with conquests and became the most important power in the Mediterranean. The vibrant trade network on the Mediterranean was the assurance of both the political and economic power of the Roman Empire. As the empire aged, its influence and power began to wane. The empire was divided into Eastern and Western Rome in 395 AD. The Western Roman Empire, which could not withstand the pressures from the north, withdrew from the stage of history in 476 AD, and left its place to the Eastern Roman Empire, namely Byzantium, where commercial life continued with all its vitality.
Eastern Rome (Nea Roma) remained on the stage of history for another thousand years after the collapse of Western Rome. One of the most important reasons for this was the fact that New Rome was a political capital, as well as a large port and a manufacturing center, and the strong walls surrounding the city. The walls protected the city from invasions for a long time. However, the fact that the active commercial life in the region was in the hands of the Venetians and Genoese prepared the end of Nea Rome. Although the city was the capital of European civilization until the Latin Invasion in 1204, it lost its former power after the invasion and surrendered to the armies of Mehmed the Conqueror in 1453.
Suriçi Historical Peninsula, the new capital of the Ottoman Empire, regained its splendid appearance before the Latin Invasion in a short time. Mehmed the Conqueror started to develop the city immediately after the conquest. First, the walls that were destroyed during the conquest were repaired. Hagia Sophia, which was neglected and in ruins, was repaired and converted into a mosque. In Fatih, the construction of the Mosque and Kulliye, named after the Sultan, and the Topkapi Palace began. The Sahn-ı Seman Madrasahs, which were established within the Fatih Complex and formed the foundations of today's Istanbul University, started to serve in the same period. During this period, the Byzantine waterways were repaired and the Grand Bazaar was built. In addition, the city's municipal organization was created during this period. Fatih Sultan Mehmet appointed Hızır Çelebi as Şehremini (mayor).
In addition, after the conquest, new settlement areas were created for the development of the city. The Muslim population from Anatolia and Rumelia was encouraged to migrate to the city. Christian and Jewish populations from various regions were also brought to the city and settled in certain places. 50 years after the conquest, Istanbul, which was the center of the Historic Peninsula, became Europe's largest city and a center of science and art.
The Historic Peninsula also had its share of this revival and many immortal works have survived since then.
The 46-year period between the years 1520-1566, when Suleiman the Magnificent was on the throne, was a period of rise for the Imperial Capital, Istanbul, as it was for the state. During this period, many priceless works were built in Istanbul, many of which have survived. The city got plenty of water with new dams, aqueducts, waterways and fountains. Equipped with madrasas, caravanserais, baths, private gardens and bridges, Istanbul gained the appearance of a capital city. Also in this period, the Golden Horn Port became one of the busiest ports in the Mediterranean.
The earthquake of September 14, 1509, which left its mark on the 16th century and was known as the 'Little Apocalypse', caused great damage to the city. earthquake lasting 45 days

Although it has the title of the most populous city of our country, there are also quiet and calm places in Istanbul where you can rest your head. For example, Ağva in Şile is one of the best options you can go to when you want to get away from the crowds of the city. Ağva, which has a uniquely peaceful atmosphere, has cafes by the sea where you can drink tea or coffee, restaurants where you can taste fresh seafood, and adult hotels where you can stay with peace of mind.
Especially if you are tired of the hustle and bustle of Istanbul, I recommend you to go to Ağva and cruise the Göksu River by rented motorbike and watch the turtles that you will cross during your trip. Of course, don't forget to breathe in the scent of the sea, the river and the sun. If you are going to take a tour on the Göksu River, it is useful to know that the prices are between 80 TL and 100 TL per person.
