⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our guide didn’t just show us the sights — he turned the whole city into a story. Starting at the Column of Constantine, then climbing up to the Bazaar’s rooftops, I couldn’t help but feel like I was in an adventure movie. Looking down at the chaos of the Grand Bazaar from above, it was part history lesson, part spy film. Later, sipping tea with the Bosphorus glittering below us, I thought: this is the Istanbul most people will never see.
