Why our content is so valuable to readers like you
I don’t rehash widely spread information about Istanbul, already massively available in online or printed guides. Nor do I infest the pages with advertising or clickbait. Here I focus on sharing information that takes you off the beaten tourist track, let you experience Istanbul just like the locals do, share the experiences I have had while visiting these places. Everything I recommend or warn about I have experienced and written about personally.
