About
If you’ve already taken gorgeous photos in some of the most popular tourist attractions in Istanbul and are looking for more colorful locales to snap IG-worthy photos in, you’ve come to the right place. Whether alone, with a special someone, or in a big group, this full-day tour will take you around some of the city’s lesser-known but still picturesque sites and leave you with lots of time to get your angles right for the perfect photo op!
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation and get you settled in our comfy, air-conditioned vehicle. Make sure to come prepared with your phone, power bank, and camera too! Our first stop is Kybele Hotel. This quaint hotel is known for its Ottoman-style design and colorful exterior. We’ll head to the Basilica Cistern, one of the city’s largest ancient cisterns, and skip the long lines upon entering.
Our next stop is the Sirkeci Station. The historic station is a central transportation hub that features a grand design and impressive facade that is definitely worth a snap or two (or more!). From there, we’ll head to Asia by the world's deepest underwater railway tunnel, connecting the 2 continents under the Bosphorus strait. We will head to Uskudar Coast Walkway, a seaside promenade overlooking the Bosphorus strait and the Maiden Tower.
“Sirkeci Railway Station, with its Oriental-Gothic façade, clock towers, and stained glass windows is well worth a visit. It’s a vintage railway station with amazing architectural beauty and a brooding railway atmosphere.” – Atulya, India
Take in the lovely views and pose for some more shots before we head to the popular Kuzguncuk area. Once we arrive, we’ll wander along Icadiye Street, and marvel at the colorful shophouses and other beautiful residential homes.
We’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant before boarding a ferry to Ortakoy. This lively waterfront square is abuzz with people taking advantage of the open-air and social atmosphere. Our last stop of the day is Karakoy, a harborside area known for its entertaining nightlife and brightly lit nightscape.
“A wonderful place to see! In my opinion, it reaches the top three of the most beautiful places in Istanbul. The view over the Bosphorus is truly magical, mostly at night.” – Travel4050
