Travel Tips
Important Tips
Secret Sunrise Spot
Skip the crowded Galata Tower and head to Pierre Loti Café in Eyüp for the best sunrise views over the Golden Horn. Take the cable car up and enjoy Turkish coffee while watching the city wake up.
insiderBest Baklava Secret
Forget tourist recommendations. The best baklava is at Karaköy Güllüoğlu (not any other Güllüoğlu!). Go early morning for the freshest pieces.
foodGeneral Tips
Hidden Courtyard Cafés
Behind many unassuming doors in Beyoğlu are secret courtyard cafés. Look for Ara Café (owned by photographer Ara Güler) or the hidden gem at Markiz Pasajı.
insiderFree Bosphorus Experience
Instead of expensive boat tours, take the public ferry from Eminönü to Kadıköy. Same views, a fraction of the price, and you get to experience how locals commute.
transportHaggling at Grand Bazaar
Never buy from shops at the entrances - prices are highest there. The deeper you go, the better the deals. Start at 40% of asking price and settle around 50-60%.
