If the whole planet could be as a single country , it certainly Istambul must be his capital.

Çamlica Hill (!!!)
ISTANBUL - Büyük Camlica
Çamlica Hill Çamlica Hill rises up from Anatolian Istanbul, offering a unique perspective on the city and on the Bosphorus. Popular with Sunday strollers, lovers and those needing some fresh air, Located about 4km from Üsküdar, Çamlica is split into two peaks: Küçük Çamlica (‘Little Pine Hill’) and Büyük Çamlica (‘Big Pine Hill’), this one being the highest point in Istanbul at 267m above sea level. This recreation area is about 4 km far from Üsküdar, accesible by own car or by taxi. Alternatively, buses stop at the base of the hill; the top can be reached by walking within half an hour.
Definetly you must see Istambul from the top ?


Night life in Istanbul is very intense, so, for chose something you must acces this link and…will be up to you ?)

Best Of Istanbul
Hagia Sophia - The Hagia Sophia (or the more beautiful way of saying it, Aya Sofya) is Istanbul in one building.
Hamams - Steam, sweat, squeeze, and scrub: you can get it all at your local hamam.

The Grand Bazaar -You haven't shopped in Istanbul until you've shopped at the Grand Bazaar.

Galipolli - During WWI (the shit show of shit shows), the Gallipoli peninsula was the site of an eight-month military campaign.

Istanbul's Top Sights !! These are the sights you should be sure to see, ranked in order of importance and ease of access.
Luckily, the first six sights are close together near Sultanahmet Square.

1. Topkapi Palace -Home (and Harem!) of the sultans—a must-see.

2. Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia)- Changed the course of Western architecture; greatest church in Christendom for 1000 years.

3. Sultanahmet (Blue) Mosque -Islam's elegant answer to Ayasofya, with six minarets and blue interior tiles, one of Istanbul's numerous grand imperial mosques.
4. Byzantine Hippodrome- The political and recreational heart of Byzantine Constantinople and Ottoman Istanbul.

5. Turkish & Islamic Arts Museum -Facing the Blue Mosque on the Hippodrome, a treasure-house of 1000 years of fine art.

6. Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarniçi) -An eerie subterranean "sunken palace" of 336 marble columns which could hold 2,265 cubic meters (80,000 cubic feet) of water in case of drought or siege. James Bond was here. ?)))

7.Grand Bazaar (Kapali Çarsi) -The ultimate medieval "shopping center," with 4000 shops, fun whether you buy or just browse.

8. Egyptian (Spice) Bazaar- Food, spices, coffee, snacks and some touristy stuff.

9. Beyoglu (Pera) - The romance of 19th-century European Istanbul, not to mention cafés, tavernas, restaurants, music clubs, boutiques...

10.Dolmabahçe Palace - The sultan's sumptuous new (1856) European-style palace on the Bosphorus—spectacular, if you have the time.

11.Bosphorus Cruise - The perfect 75-minute, half-day or full-day Istanbul excursion, up toward the Black Sea past castles, palaces and Ottoman-Victorian villages.

12. Princes' Islands Get away to islands with Victorian-era towns free of motor vehicles: walk, bicycle, or take a horse-drawn carriage tour.

Shopping
With the opening of the Grand Bazaar in the mid-1400s, it seems fitting that Istanbul would become the shopping haven it is today. From the huge Grand Bazaar's vast number of vendors to the Egyptian Bazaar's variety of spices, the city offers a wide range of markets to choose from and haggle in.
In addition to the bazaars, Istanbul has many modern shopping centers, stores and boutiques for those who want to exercise their credit card swiping hand. Head to Istiklal Caddesi, the main road in Beyoglu, for smaller local stores and outposts for big name brands.
Haggling is an art form in Istanbul. One maxim is to never accept the first price. And one tried and true technique is the fake walk-away -- many times this will get the merchant to knock down the price considerably. Perhaps it was the renown of the Grand Bazaar that put Istanbul on the map of the world's great shopping destinations. But it's the hunting grounds of Old Istanbul, the elegant boutiques of Nisantasi, and the revival in handicraft and artwork that have kept it there."
Nightlife - Whatever ideas you may have about the conservative nature of this mainly Muslim city will go out the window when you stay overnight in Istanbul. Bars, nightclubs, lounges and performance venues are scattered throughout all of Istanbul. However, Beyoglu, the trendiest part of the city, is the center of Istanbul nightlife. Writers recommend doing as the Istanbulians do and starting your night in a meyhane to sip on raki and munch on mezes (small plates). Later, hit the clubs and dance the night away or catch a live show.
If you have the urge to splurge, the European shores of the Bosphorus are lively when the sun goes down and attract Istanbul's wealthy. The sleek and sophisticated clubs here are where you would go to see and be seen, but they're only open in the summer months.
As in any large city, tourists should not walk around alone at night and should stick to more crowded areas. Single men in particular should be on the lookout for scams when going out in Istanbul. Be wary of groups of young men offering to take you to an exclusive bar or club where they will pay for drinks. It may be the start of a scam, where they will stick you with a giant bill in the end. If you do not pay, they may threaten you with physical harm.
Even taxi drivers can't keep up with the ever-fluctuating club scene. The Beaiktaa end of Ortaköy is a maze of upscale hangouts. The cheerful Nevizade is a virtually uninterrupted row of wine shops and tapas bars, parallel to Istiklal Cad. Istanbul's local specialty is balyoz (sledgehammer or wrecking ball). Getting wrecked won't be difficult: balyoz consists of rakâ, whiskey, vodka, and gin with orange juice. Bottoms up."

Museums
Sitting right next to the Topkapi Palace is the Istanbul Archaeology Museum (Arkeoloji Müzesi). The museum features the Alexander Sarcophagus, once (falsely) thought to be the remains of Alexander the Great. For more contemporary pieces, head across the Golden Horn to Beyoglu, home to the Istanbul Modern, which opened in 2005, in a converted shipping terminal. Once you've viewed the exhibits, make sure to stop by the museum's café, which overlooks the Marmara Sea.
Also in Beyoglu is the Divan Edebiyati Müzesi, a small collection of instruments important to Turkish Sufi culture, including special flutes and guitars. On Sunday afternoons, the museum hosts music and dance performances. One branch of Sufism has been nicknamed the Whirling Dervishes in the west, and members of this sect are known for their twirling-whirling dances as a way of honoring God.
• The main street in Beyoglu, Istiklal Caddesi, is packed with art galleries, most displaying contemporary works. International artists and mixed exhibitions feature regularly. Every bank has an art gallery or cultural center open to the public."
• Istanbul Modern. Housed in a former warehouse in the Tophane district, this industrial-looking art museum features a comprehensive survey of Turkish painting. After touring the galleries, make sure you grab a drink at the museum café and take in the view of the Bosphorus."

Istanbul has had a long and rich history. The city's major attractions reflect this, from the museums to the stunning architecture. Palaces, castles, mosques and churches abound. Combined with the spectacle the bazaars, they lend the city a fantastically exotic feel. If you have time, stop by a Turkish hamam (bath) for a soak and a massage - the Süleymaniye Hamam is recommended by travelers.
If you have kids in tow, you might want to vacation elsewhere. Istanbul does not have much for children to do and they will most likely quickly tire of touring Byzantine architecture.
• Most first-time travelers to Istanbul spend a lot of time in Sultanahmet. ... Merchants crowd the district between the enormous Grand Bazaar, east of the university, and the less touristy Egyptian Spice Bazaar, just southeast of Eminana. To soak in the city's sights the easy way, hop on one of the small boats on either side of the Galata Bridge and go for a relaxing and panoramic Bosphorus tour. "
• Even though Turks are notorious pushovers for their children, Istanbul isn't really a kid-friendly destination; even the most privileged and well-educated children will get bored trudging around the recesses of ancient Byzantium."
Palaces & Mosques- With a city as rich in history, it should come as no surprise that some of its most popular attractions are buildings built by royalty in centuries past. Start with the beautiful blue interiors that inspired the name for the Blue Mosque in Sultanahmet. Also in the Old City is Hagia Sophia (the Church of the Holy Wisdom), reportedly one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture around, with a huge dome 18 stories high and covered in gold tiles. Created in 537 AD, it served as the main cathedral of Constantinople, the capital of the Roman, Byzantine and the Ottoman Empires, though the city changed names a few times. Nearby is Topkapi Palace (Topkapi Sarayi), a centuries-old palace that once housed sultans and their harems. The vast grounds consisting of multiple courtyards are now available for tours.
Across the Golden Horn and south of Beyoglu is Dolmabahçe Palace, whose construction helped to bankrupt the Ottoman Empire at one point. Filled with gifts from international royalty, including a 4.5-ton chandelier from Queen Victoria, writers call the palace gaudy luxury at its best.
• History buffs love Istanbul, as do those keen on Islamic architecture. There's a buzz, too, around a number of new art galleries, most of them in Beyoglu around Istiklal Avenue."
• Pretty much everywhere you turn in the city, historical sites abound. It's impossible to see all of them, but some that shouldn't be missed are the Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), Topkapi Palace, Yerebatan Basilica Cistern, and the Ayasofya (Hagia Sophia). The Bosphorus cruise to Anadolu Kavagi is fabulously relaxing. Çiragan Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace are both in Besiktas."

(41) Catch a football match. Istanbul has an extensive list of football clubs, so if you’re in town during the football season, you can catch a live game of footy.
(42) Ride the funicular. If you need to give your legs a little rest, then riding the funicular is the easiest way to deal with Istanbul’s hills. The Tünel line is the oldest underground metro line in continental Europe, and the second oldest in the world after London.
(43) Drink pomegranate juice. Stop at one of the many street stands and order yourself a cup of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. It’s both tart and sweet, and the antioxidants offer great health benefits.
(44) Visit the Süleymaniye Mosque. The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia may be better known, but the Süleymaniye Mosque is the largest mosque in Istanbul. For that it is worth the visit.
(45) Race around the Hippodrome. Today a public square, the Hippodrome of Constantinople was a place for horse racing and chariot racing. During the Byzantine empire, this place would have been the beating heart of social activity.
(46) Go to the Ortaköy Mosque. This mosque stands along the waterfront of Ortaköy pier square. While it is much smaller than many of the mosques in the city, Ortaköy Mosque is unique in the sense that it is a perfect example of Baroque architecture.

(47) Get a taste of royal life at Topkapi Palace. Topkapi Palace is the largest royal residence in Istanbul and it served as the main residence to the Ottoman Sultans for almost 400 years. The grounds are massive, but perhaps the most impressive part of it all are the Harem Apartments – a place with more than 400 rooms for the Sultan’s many concubines, wives, children, and extended family members.
(48) Pretend you’re a sultan at Dolmabahçe Palace. This palace was home to 6 different sultans towards the end of the Ottoman period. While in the past the Sultan and his family had lived in Topkapi Palace, times were changing and the Ottoman’s felt Topkapi was lacking the luxury and style of the new era. Naturally, a new palace had to be built. And what’s a new palace without the world’s largest Bohemian crystal chandelier? (Courtesy of Queen Victoria.)
(49) Walk along the Walls of Constantinople. When Constantinople became the new capital of the Roman Empire, defensive walls were erected to fortify the city. The 7 kilometre walk along the remaining portions of the wall offers a window into the past.
(50) Get lost and see what surprises the city throws your way. Istanbul is a great city to get lost in. So if you’re feeling rather adventurous, why not leave the guidebook behind and just head out on foot to see what you can discover for yourself.

(31) Take a cooking class. Taking a cooking class in a new city is a fun way to be introduced to new dishes, but also a way to bring the city’s flavour back to your own kitchen. If you can’t get enough of the köfte, lahmacun, and pide, then learning how to cook these dishes is a must.
(32) Feel like a giant at Miniatürk. This rather unique miniature park is home to small-scale recreations of structures found in Istanbul, Anatolia, and other Ottoman territories that today lie outside of Turkish borders.
(33) Have Sütlaç for dessert. This is the Turkish version of rice pudding. It is said that the recipe made in Topkapi Palace contained rose water. You can also get this dish with chopped walnuts and raisins, which I think adds a nice flavour.
(34) Take a day trip to the Princes’ Islands. The Princes’ Islands is a cluster of 9 islands which lie off the Asian shores of Istanbul. The islands get this name because during the Byzantine and early Ottoman period, members of dynasties who fell out of favour were often sent to exile there. Today it is a popular place for families and couples to visit on the weekends, and the only form of transportation is horse and cart – very romantic.
(35) Visit the Blue Mosque. Also known as the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Blue Mosque’s two most striking features are its 6 minarets and blue domed exterior. You’ll want to dress modestly and if you’re a woman you’ll need to wear a scarf over your head as this is still a functioning mosque.
(36) Eat Turkish pizza. Lahmacun is considered to be the Turkish equivalent of pizza. This thin dough is topped with minced meat, vegetables and herbs.
(37) Go to the Maiden’s Tower. There is much debate about the story behind this tower which sits on a small islet located at the southern entrance of the Bosphorus. Local tale says that the tower was built by a wealthy man who was trying to protect his daughter from a prophecy spoken by an oracle – a prophecy foretelling the death of the man’s daughter by a snake bite. To prevent these words from coming true, the father built a tower to keep his daughter safe in the water. Of course a snake would eventually find it’s way to the tower when the father came to visit with a basket full of fruit.
(38) Stroll along Emirgan Park. This is one of the largest public parks in Istanbul and it is located along the banks of the Bosphorus. Emirgan Park also plays host to the annual Tulip Festival, so you’ll want to check that out if you are in town in the spring.
(39) Hop over to the Asian continent. Most visitors tend to stick to the European side, but if you venture over to the Asian side via ferry, you’ll find that the city has more of a local feel. The pace of life seems a bit slower and there are hardly any tourists around.
(40) Eat Turkish ice cream. Turkish ice cream is called dondurma which literally means freezing. What makes Turkish ice cream different from other types of ice cream is that it has a rather sticky texture and it is a bit more resistant to melting. Don’t believe me? Take a bite and try not to get the stringy ice cream all over your face.

(21) Eat a doner. Doner is a Turkish dish made with meat cooked on a spinning vertical rotisserie. The meat can be lamb, beef, or chicken, and it’s served in a pita with vegetables and a few toppings. It’s a tasty and affordable lunch which you can find in any part of the city.
(22) Enjoy the view from Galata Tower. Located in Beyoglu, this tower looks like it would be better suited as Rapunzel’s home in a fairy tale. There is something magical about the pointed cylindrical roof, and the views from the outer balcony are breathtaking.
(23) Buy yourself a glass lamp. The colourful glass lamps you’ll see hanging in almost every establishment in the city make a great souvenir to take back home. If you are looking for a bargain on these, I suggest you try purchasing them outside the Grand Bazaar and away from the main touristy areas; you’d be surprised at how drastically the prices drop. A medium sized lamp should run you $15-20 USD.
(24) Dine with the best view of Istanbul. If you want a restaurant with a great view that won’t break your wallet, I recommend Hamdi Restorant. The 180-degree views showcase the Süleymaniye Mosque, Rüstempasa Mosque, Galata Tower, and the Bosphorus. Not only that, but they make a delicious köfte and roasted eggplant.
(25) Go to a belly-dancing show. If you’re after a performance with more of an entertainment factor, then you’re in luck because Hodjapasha Dance Theatre (the same venue that puts of the Whirling Dervish performance), also has folkloric and belly-dancing performances. Prepare to be whisked back into 1001 Arabian Nights.
(26) Visit Istanbul Archaeological Museums. The Istanbul Archaeological Museums actually consists of 3 different museums which are located near Topkapi Palace. These are the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of the Ancient Orient, and the Museum of Islamic Art. If you enjoy getting up close with history, you’ll enjoy a visit here.
(27) Pet the stray cats. Istanbul is a city were cats reign supreme. The strays are well taken care of by locals who leave out food, water, and even pillows for these cats to sleep on.
(28) Visit the Chora Church. The Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora may not be the largest of the Byzantine churches, but it’s certainly known for being one of the most beautiful. The highlight are the various mosaic panels which recreate biblical scenes and still dazzle centuries later.
(29) See the Valens Aqueducts. When the Romans passed through Istanbul, they began construction of a water system that would supply the city’s growing needs for fresh water. The water that travelled down these aqueducts was stored in open reservoirs and underground cisterns across the city. Today, the surviving section of the Valens Aqueduct is 921 metres long.
(30) Visit Beylerbeyi Palace. This palace, whose name means Lord of Lords, is situated on the Asian side of Istanbul. The palace was built along the banks of the Bosphorus and it was used as the summer residence by the Ottomans.

Istanbul Saklasin Bizi

(11) Drink Turkish tea. If you come to Istanbul you have to drink tea out of a tulip-shaped glass. Turkish tea is prepared in a rather unique way using a teapot that has two level: one to boil the water, and the other to brew the tea. You then pour the tea into the glass and dilute it with the hot water so that it’s made to your taste.
(12) Eat börek. Börek is a traditional Turkish pastry made of flaky dough. It can be stuffed with feta cheese or minced meat as a savoury treat, or if you prefer something sweeter, you can eat it plain with a little bit of icing sugar sprinkled overtop.
(13) Marvel at Hagia Sophia. This architectural wonder has a long history which has seen it go from Eastern Orthodox cathedral, to Roman Cathedral, back to Eastern Orthodox cathedral, to mosque, and now it’s a museum. The exterior may not seem too impressive, but once you’re inside and you catch a glimpse of the heavenly domes and ancient mosaics, you will be in awe.
(14) Visit Little Hagia Sophia. The Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus, also known as Little Hagia Sophia, is a former Eastern Orthodox church. It is believed that this church was built as an architectural experiment by the same architects who would go on to build Hagia Sophia shortly after. Better test things out on a smaller scale before committing to the main project, right?
(15) Go underground at the Basilica Cistern. The Basilica Cistern is the largest of the ancient underground water cisterns found across Istanbul. Most of the columns in the cistern appear to have been recycled from the ruins of other buildings, and among them you’ll find two carvings of Medusa’s head used as column bases, as well as a column with tear shaped engravings believed to have the power to make your wishes come true.
(16) Sample Turkish delight. Also known as lokum to locals, Turkish delight is a popular gummy treat. The best place to sample Turkish delight is at Hafiz Mustafa, where you can choose from flavours that include rose, cinnamon, mint, strawberry, lemon, orange, kiwi, pomegranate and apple. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
(17) Indulge your sweet tooth with baklava. The Turks really know what they are doing when it comes to sweets. Baklava is made with layers of phyllo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. Forget the scones and clotted cream; this is what you need at tea time!
(18) Drink a glass of Ayran. This is one of those drinks that you either love or hate. Ayran is considered the national drink in Turkey and it is a cold yogurt beverage mixed with salt. It’s especially popular during the summer months.
(19) Test your bargaining skills at the Grand Bazaar. Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar is a place for serious shoppers. With more than 3,000 shops and covering an estimated 61 streets, this place is dizzying yet so worth a visit. You’ll notice that some streets specialize in certain goods with those shops selling nothing but leather, silverware, carpets, ceramics or spices. There will be lots of glittery things to catch your eye, so you may want to come prepared to spend.
(20) Smoke hookah. Argilah, nargile, sheesha, hubbly bubbly – whatever you call it, there is an ample supply of hookah bars in Istanbul where you can lounge around while you smoke the water pipe and sip on a class of tea or coffee.
