The "Cool" Tour of Istanbul (yeah you heard what I said)

This tour is for fun-lovers, night-owls, and tireless travelers who are done with the "essentials" of Istanbul. There are countless tours of the main attractions during the day... but at night? I want to showcase how the historical peninsula of Istanbul transforms in the evening. We'll mostly be around Karakoy and Taksim and you'll see how the nightlife of Istanbul takes shape. Besides showing you some of the oldest bars and restaurants, I really want to explain the alternative scene and what makes Istanbul so "cool." So, I'll be pointing out structures like: Ottoman-buildings which have been converted into libraries and public learning spaces, or the only unofficial queer club in Taksim. 

I recommend you...

• Prepare your stories and fun facts
• Stay comfortable as there will be a few steep climbs
• Come hungry (~5€, optional, great street food at the end)

I am an avid-traveler myself and I deeply treasure the spontaneous connections created under such colorful circumstances so, this tour has a SOCIAL focus as well. There will be a conversational atmosphere and the opportunity to grab drinks (optional, of course) at our stops. This tour is ideal for a dynamic group or extraverted solo-travelers because sorry, I will try to make all of us become FRRRIEEENDS
