Turkey | Strolling through the streets of Istanbul

Istanbul is a city that bridges Europe and Asia, where every step feels like a journey through time. Walking around the Blue Mosque, you can admire its elegant domes and minarets while the gentle breeze carries the melodious sound of prayers. Entering the Hagia Sophia, you are immersed in the grandeur of Byzantine and Ottoman civilizations intertwined. 🐪

I love wandering into the narrow alleys, where Turkish flags flutter in the wind and shops display colorful lamps, spices, and sweets. Occasionally, I pause to enjoy a cup of Turkish tea or savor a freshly baked sesame bagel, simit—this is the true way to connect with the city's life. 🚶♀️

The charm of Istanbul lies in its contrasts: ancient stone walls alongside modern trams, the sunset over the Golden Horn echoing the bustling Grand Bazaar. Every stop deepens my appreciation for the soul of this city.
