Turkey: Coastlines & Cappadocia
Istanbul:
Gosh, writing this blog I want to go back, so badly. I've always preferred to explore new countries rather than revisit countries I've been, but that is SO not the case with Turkey. I could never get tired of it and would love to visit again very soon.
Let's talk Istanbul. It's a very walkable city in the 2-3 days I recommend you have here. I would recommend splitting your time up via geographical location: Karakoy side, Old Town side, and Asian side if time. I wanted to visit the Asian side, but found so much to explore on the european side, I opted to stay and explore it to the full extent.
I recommend staying in Karakoy. It's a bustling area that's filled with culture and tons of things to explore. Shake off the Jet Lag by staying close to your accommodation and explore Karakoy on your first day.
I highly recommend taking a boat cruise down the Bosphorus one evening at sunset and watch the city light up from the water. Add it onto the end of whichever day you feel you have time and energy. You can simply walk along the water in Karakoy neighbourhood and there will be tons of boat options to choose from.
