DOs and DO NOTs
DO
Explore the narrow alleys around
Sirkeci.
Sirkeci’s restaurants are half the
price and three times the quality of Sultanahment (the area with Ayasofya, Topkapi,
Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and Basilica Cistern).
Sirkeci has a T1 transit stop.
In two stops, you are at Sultanahmet.
In three, Cemberlitas and its markets.
In four – the Grand Bazaar.
So in a matter of minutes via low cost
tram, you can be at all the historic attractions while sleeping and dining in
more authentic Sirkeci.
DO NOT
Stay somewhere way up in the business
districts of Sisli or Nisantasi.
Unless you are on a business trip and
only will be meeting with multinational companies in those areas, don’t book
your stay in these districts.
There is no tram service to them, the
restaurants are very expensive and you will not be immersed in the daily life
of Istanbul.
