This is a small unassuming museum dedicated to one of modern Turkey’s most prolific writers: Orhan Kemal. From the 1940s till his death in 1970, Orhan Kemal wrote a number of short-stories and novels, as well as one play. His works primary deal with issues related to the plight of peasants in...

The Balik Pazari is a short passage off Istiklal Avenue near the midpoint of the street and across from Galatasaray Lisesi. “Balik Pazari” literally means “fish bazaar,” and as expected with such a name, this place features a great variety of fish and seafood. I’ve never bought fish...

The “flower passage” (as “Cicek Pasaji” translates) is a beautiful place to enjoy a seafood meal in Istanbul. It’s located on Istiklal Avenue with a connection to the Balik Pazari. The passage consists of a lovely series of higher-end restaurants. Fittingly for a cicek-named place, a...

I really enjoyed discovering the Cefer Aga Medresesi. It is a modest historic educational complex in Sultanahmet. The school is located off a minor street which runs along side the Hagia Sofia. It’s a small school and easily overlooked amidst the famous landmarks in the area. The complex was...

The Ara Café is quickly becoming one of my favorite lunchtime destinations in Istanbul…I imagine it’s also a great place for dinner. It is located near the middle of Istiklal Avenue across from Galatasaray Lisesi (highschool). The menu offers an excellent selection of salads, sandwiches, and...

Having become a big fan of Banksy’s graffiti (though admittedly I’ve never seen his work in person), it was with great excitement that I discovered that a similar, if less risqué, graffiti artist was at work in Cihangir. Every time I wander around Cihangir I come across different examples....

Istiklal Avenue is mostly a shopping and nightlife destination. Although there are few typical tourist attractions along it, I believe it is a must see for any trip to Istanbul. The street formerly known as Rue de Paris, was changed to Istiklal (meaning freedom) following the formation of the...

Prior to visiting Turkey, I was unaware of the joys of eating doner - it’s very delicious! I only wish such food was more widely available in America. Doner is primarily eaten with either lamb or chicken, which can be placed in a wrap or a sandwich bun. You can also ask for it with french-fries...

The Galata Bridge is one of my favorite bridges in the world. Normally what attracts me to bridges is the design – how the formal expression of the structural forces reaches the level of sculpture. This is not my reason for enjoying the Galata Bridge. I actually find the form of the bridge to...

When heading to the historic peninsula Eminonu is usually your gateway point. There is a major ferry terminal and tram stop here. Most people arrive to the historic peninsula either by ferry or by passing over the Galata Bridge (unless you went straight to the peninsula from Ataturk International...
