Human & Travel Stories
EXPERIENCE "ISTANBUL"
I was born and raised in Istanbul, my favorite city in the world. I'm always into exploring my city's neighborhoods, the lives & stories of locals, taking a look at the artisans' ateliers and searching for the history behind everything. It's very unique, and has different cultures from different nations, that's why this city never makes you bored.
Below is the description of some of the things I'll include in this experience meeting:
* On this experience meeting, we'll be experiencing the colorful region, Beyoğlu. Then we'll take a break at the best (Turkish) coffee place alongside the delicious treats, talking about the city and cultural background of it.
* Meeting the inspirational artisans in their ateliers and store keepers of the area.
* Discussing about the different influences on architecture. Seeing some photos and documents about Jewish, Greek and Genoese population.
* Checking an old archive of the Ottoman Bank, ancient han (inn), a gallery, and a Genovese street.
* Tasting pide, a Turkish pita mostly made with a special type of cheese or meat.
* Ending the day sitting under the vine trees with Turkish tea.
This experience includes a cup of Turkish coffee, some Turkish dessert treats, traditional pide (Turkish pita) and Turkish tea.
Also, as a bonus gift I prepare 'city notes' for the participants. Depending on your tastes, I advise you on your itinerary (for ex: specific stores, restaurants, bookstores, museums, Turkish baths, cocktail bars, historic buildings list) as a copy.
I can't wait to tell about the 'magical mosaic', aka Istanbul. If you're interested in learning more about Istanbul and its culture by its communities & culture with me, join me on this experience meeting.
