Istanbul is a historically and culturally rich city. The sleek domes and graceful minarets give the city a majestic look and it is believed that a visit to Istanbul is incomplete without having a visit to at least one of the sacred mosques in the city like Blue Mosque and the Suleymaniye Mosque.
Shop at the Grand Bazaar –

Whether you are a shopaholic or not you cannot resist shopping here as there is anything and everything found from jewelry, handmade ceramics, carpets, spices to antiques. And you will be amazed to know that today; the Grand Bazaar is home to two mosques, two hammams i.e. the Turkish traditional baths, four fountains and a lot of restaurants and cafes.
Watching the dancing Whirling Dervishes –
The dance performed by Whirling Dervishes known as Sema relates to the faith, history, customs and culture of Turkey closely and symbolizes the mystical journey through the human mind and love.
Enjoying an evening at traditional Turkish tavern –
The nightlife of Istanbul is lively. To have fun with the locals do make a visit to the Meyhane i.e. the traditional Turkish tavern and listen to the fasil music that is performed in a group with a violin, clarinet, lute, trombone, hand drum called darbuka and a flat, stringed instrument called kanun. To make it even more exciting, have a sip of Turkish raki and nibble mezes. We suggest two restaurants offering the best evenings in the Beyoglu district i.e. the Zarif and Ferayefor an amazing experience. Another restaurant offering fasil music from Monday to Saturday is the Galata Meyhanesi restaurant.
