DO
Go to
Kadikoy -- the best port to visit on the Asian side.
Walk less
than a kilometer, to the blocks and blocks of open air markets.
Get meze
(tapas) or Lahmacun, a very flat crispy dough with minced meat on it.
You roll it
up with fresh basil and salad….kinda like folding over a slice pizza in
NYC.
While in
Kadikoy, find the nostalgic tram and take it to MODA.
Moda is
upper middle class families – like Park Slope and hipsters – like Williamsburg….expect
everything is 1/4 the cost of NYC.
Shop for
vintage clothes, go to the tea gardens overlooking the point where the
Bosphorus Straits spill into the Sea of Marmara.
DO NOT
Confuse
Karikoy -- the waterfront part of Galata, which has both touristy restaurants
on the water, then some of the best young chef-driven restaurants toward the
former industrial port -- with Kadikoy on the Asian side.
Though both
are top 12 spots to visit via ferry.
