What people say

"Nestled on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, Kuzguncuk offers a charming escape from the bustling city center. This historic Greek Orthodox neighborhood boasts colorful wooden houses adorned with vibrant flowers. Wander through narrow streets, soak in the peaceful atmosphere, and explore unique antique shops and cafes. For a touch of history, visit the Aya Strati Church, a beautiful Greek Orthodox church dating back to the 18th century."
"If you want to get a unique and original souvenir, then visit Bencil Dukkan shop, the owner makes fabulous hand-made bracelets, rings, ceramics, etc, many with Turkish designes, and even you can find cute hand-made magnets with famous locations of Istanbul! "
