Grand Bazaar: a city within a city, a huge, colorful. Covered Bazaar. Ceilings warheads,yellow, white, blue and ocher, small lights everywhere. They sell mostly everything for the decoration of the house. Many tourists. Price quite expensive. Around the covered bazaar, it extends into the surrounding streets. Spices, birds, leeches,
…
St. Sophia mosque, then the Blue Mosque. Superb. At St. Sophia, the Byzantine-style blends Muslim. Amazing beauty. Enormous. Small candles lit everywhere.
Crossing the Galata Bridge. Galatasaray neighborhood. The top of the Galata Tower is worth a look for the stunning views over the city (12 million) and the Bosphorus.
Taksim district, to wander in many passages of true cave of Ali Baba.
Discovered by chance an extraordinary coffee, outside a small courtyard surrounded byocher walls and blue, filled with huge floor cushions, colored candles and small, here orthere, lanterns that give the place a soul in the Arabian Nights.

Three musicians play tunes Jews, which amplifies the magical moment of glory. Violin,clarinet, accordion.
Bazar Ste-Sophie, cute and cheaper than the Grand Bazaar.
In Istanbul, go to a barber, gentlemen ... You will experience a great time tradition! Very typical! straight razor, lighter to burn the ear hair, knotted hair removal so ...
To do so: a boat trip on the Bosphorus ... Palaces, mosques mingle with swirls of modernity, bridges today. Asian side: very rich villas never end to show off their greatness, their pools ... In the sea of Marmara: huge tankers, freighters and other tourists boats.

Leaving the boat, go simply straight, and enter the paradise of the bazaars. No tourists,only thousands of Turks swarming everywhere. You enter this nest as one enters an earlier era.
You will not know where to go, what to smell or to watch, what to touch. Spices, clothes, household utensils, carpets, grain. Stores and displays various hard rub.
Topkapi Palace: Beautiful, peaceful garden of flowers, fountains, overlooking the Bosphorus in the fourth courtyard. Four parties in the palace harem, different colorpalate, ceramic blue walls ...

Back in the district of Galata and Taksim, so warm and young. Very few women are veiled. in restaurants, everyone dances. All ages come together, the atmosphere is friendly. The youth of the country is great and young people dance traditionnal musics a lot.
Eyüp district, far enough, and poor, as a village in the city, which has not changed for a long time. Eyüp Mosque, nice to see. Here and there some little boys dressed like little princes (perhaps the dress ... post-circumcision).
To do: climb Ottoman cemetery. Magnificent tombs perched along a large hill. Turbans at the top of the male graves, and flowers at the top of women's graves.
This requires a physical effort, but once on top, do not miss it, drink a tea with a Bosphorus view and a few small green islands in the famous Pierre Loti cafe.
