Istanbul, Turkey
My ideal time to travel for temps up to 25C: Sep → May
Use BiTaksi instead of Uber and get an “Istanbul Kart” if you want to use public transport — you can get it from Tram/Underground stations.
Attractions
You can see the hair of the Prophet ﷺ as well as other items.
Mosques
Dining
Hookah
Classic old school vibe, what you imagine a traditional setting to feel like. You can smoke shisha/nargile/hookah amongst locals and tourists. I imagine it can get quite busy but it’s pretty spacious in the late evening. There are numerous vendors who all try to convince you to sit in their area so be prepared to be slightly ambushed once you walk in, otherwise they leave you to it. Wi-Fi is available, and a water pipe costs about 35 TRY, cash only. Tea and coffee is also available.
