Istanbul. Being in Turkey and not to visit the capital is sad. No Sea Resort for Legebeck and Lovers "All Inclusive" will not replace impressions of the trip to Istanbul. And, as our guide argued, (the Turks, by the way), even people live here are completely different, not those workers in hotels and with screams: "Natasha-Shakira" is unfortunately enough for his elbows near the tray. Yes, and learned stupid compliments, the translation of the Turks mostly do not even know, and from which some of those who are delighted with some of our women, they will not hear here.
At first, that I did not like it, so that the final result did not spoil the picture. Divorces, as in many other countries there is enough. "Super cheap leather products store" Where we were brought, it turned out to be so far from low cost, like a wild boar from the courier train. At every corner here you are taught how to bargain. But, believe me, trade, and no one will give anything to you and, as practice has shown, the easiest way to go with the words: "We ourselves are not local, but about discounts heard how much you give up, so as not to worry about each other?", Checked, threw off (if you are also a girl) the third part or put it with the diasplo.
People on the street - darkness, get lost - easier simple, advice to everyone, take a picture of the place where you settled, or went off the bus and, showing the passage, he will tell where to go. The names often coincide, that is, the name of such something can be scattered throughout Istanbul (we tried to find the Institute's Corps, where we were supposed to meet, as it turned out, the corps are scattered around the city, no numbers).
Do not attempt to ask women, especially if they are accompanied, it would seem that we would have a one-sex, but ... from you herague like a leper. Ask men - merchants.
And now about pleasant )
Istanbul is a magnificent city with a note of exotic. Bazaars, shops, souvenir shops ... What else do you need our tourist? Prices are not tall, be sure to please yourself with Turkish coffee for weight (it is illuminated to you, so it will not work out for everything), sweets (no one will look askance, if you eat a couple of tastes with almond walnut or pink, pomegranate petals). Buy a jar of nuts in honey. Honey is a little bit like our, but it is very tasty!. Who has not tried, be sure to buy mussels with rice (they are sold individually) or handful of chestnuts.
Be sure to float the Bosphorus, the boat is very large, choose a place on the deck and, ordering tea (here you don't wear tea, but it is the Turks in the heat prefer tea) for one and a half hours enjoy the sea beauties and surroundings of Istanbul. It is not expensive!
Be sure to visit the Blue Mosque, it's free! Do not forget to put on the booties and the special handkerchiefs for women (they will be given them). And for lovers of the series "Roksolan-Wicliking Age" the Palace of Top Caps is simply necessary for visiting the place (we took the audio guide, everything is available and understandable).
Not long ago, for some reason, the tourists prefer to Istanbul, other sleeping resorts of Turkey ... As they say, the taste and color ... But at least a couple of days it is simply necessary! You will not regret it!
