How To Spend The Perfect Day In Istanbul

Spend the perfect 24 hours in Istanbul with me.

Despite massive inflation since my last visit to Istanbul, I tried lots of Turkish food, got a haircut, visited the Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, and Galataport, and even saw dolphins swimming in the Bosphorus River. Plus it’s still possible to visit Turkey’s biggest city on a budget. So watch to see what the perfect day in Istanbul is like!
