Istanbul — What You’ll Really Find There: Prices, Food & The Truth About Turkey
Istanbul — coming back here after four years!
This is a city of contrasts, where Europe meets Asia and ancient mosques stand next to modern cafés. In this episode, we’ll spend one intense, vibrant day in the heart of Turkey. We’ll start with a traditional Turkish breakfast, walk through iconic landmarks, climb up to the Galata Tower, and even cross the Bosphorus Bridge that connects two continents.
I’ll share how the city has changed since my last visit, what the current prices are for taxis, food, and accommodation, and how Istanbul feels today. We’ll explore the magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace, meet the famous Istanbul cats, and of course, try the legendary San Sebastián cheesecake. Join our walk and feel the atmosphere of a city that never sleeps!
