part 7
I cannot stress how important it is to stay near a tram stop.
The trams are dirt cheap, have very frequent headways, are safe, clean and climate controlled.
The T-1 tram goes to 90% of the places you will want to see during a one-week visit.
The Eminonu T-1 stop on the water gives you ferry boat access to just about everywhere else you'd want to go.
And you do want to take the safe, affordable and fun ferry rides to the Asian side, up the Golden Horn and along the mighty Bosphorus.
I almost forgot to mention that the Hotel Niles is super close to the Grand Bazaar.
It's truly walking distance to AyaSofia, Topkapi and Blue Mosque -- just two tram stops away if you prefer the T-1.
For pedestrians, it really is fun to walk east on the old Roman Road to see dozens of tombs, grave stones, smaller mosques, fountains and other ancient examples of architecture and urban life.
