Night time in Istanbul

This is my first experience walking in the street at night at foreign country. Normally when I travel to other country I never walk at night. I always feel tired after walking for hours during the day time and I could hardly move my legs at night. It is quite an experience, and the city is qiuite crouded at night and nice beautiful lights. It it quite safe in Istanbul. I did not enter the dark and lonely areas. There is quite a number of grave yard in the city with high tombs. Some even have a cafe in the centre of the grave yard.

Istanbul

Sea of Mamara

Istanbul



The sea of Mamara , the water is quite clear , the sea is quite busy with ships and ferries , it is quite a nice place to visit especially if you like sea food. There is a fish market and seafood restaurants close to each other. If you have low budget there is a hawker selling some sort of fish wrap-up with bread and unions. I have tried it, not bad for the 4 YTL. For me I like fish for a change. I have eaten too much chicken kerbabs during my stay in Turkey. Mind you these kerbabs are original.
