Going out in Istanbul

First weekend in Istanbul and we were absolutely excited about the nightlife. Friends from Germany told us that Reina deserves to be called the hottest spot in Istanbul.... we had a nice evening!!!;) Check it out or check out the website for more detailed information!

The Spice Bazzar or Egyptian Bazaar

Today we decided to see the spice bazaar  

Suada beach club

On Wednesday 4th of July we spent a wonderful afternoon at Suada beach club (check it out at www.suadaclub.com.tr)-it is an artificial island in the Bosporus belonging to Galatasaray sport club.It has ab swimmingpool and several restaurants

Our visit to Hagia Sophia

On Wednesday July 4th we visited Hagia Sophia.For over 1000 years it was a christian church, being transformed into a mosque and being UNESCO world heritage since 1985! It is a museum today.


 

Surprise at 11 pm

Relaxing in our flat we suddenly heard loud music outside. Ended up being one person playing the drums and one person playing the trumpet and approximately fifteen people following, clapping and singing. Our first thought was that in Germany all neighbors would call the police at such a time in the evening because of the disturbance of peace.

Arriving in Istanbul

After eight hours travelling we finally arrived at the Taksim Square where the hirer of our flat welcomed us. He guided us to the place where we live untill now for four weeks. Tired and hungry from our Trip he showed a really nice restaurant, he called it "Insider Tip". Wondering about that we finally had a delicious dinner at Tavanarasi at our first evening in Istanbul.
Back in the flat we´ll now go to bed being excited what will happen the next weeks. Good night! ;)
