We arrived there early in the morning and although other reviews were talking about a dangerous area we laughed with that because it’s just an old part of the city with some buildings in decadence and full of locals. The little alley isn't attractive but for me it was picturesque (pic 1) and I took some extra pics later with the local kids and women. The building (pic 2) is fully renovated anyway and it’s only 5’ walk from Taxim square so if you want to be right at Istiklal start book a hotel there (and pay the difference).
The only problem was that it’s supposed to be at Cevza 6 and the reception was at number 4 with no sign of anything so we lost 1 hour searching for a phone to call them to see where is everybody! The hotel seems renovated from outside but at the reception (it was tiny) we started to worry about the rooms and how will they look.
The man at the reception was very helpful, asked some questions for some sites we wanted to see and apologized because the room wasn’t ready (we were there early anyway) and when we finally went up to our room we were shocked how good it was!
We had the room (pic 3) at the top floor (4th, there’s no elevator) which was spacious, very clean, with many closets, a fridge, a coffee maker and a small kitchen area. There were 2 beds, comfortable enough but there was a bit noise coming from outside (kids playing etc) but I liked that :) The view was just at the back side of the hotel, nothing more than old houses (pic 4).
The bathroom was tiny (pic 5) but also good, very clean and there were towels and shampoo.

We will be in Istanbul on holiday in late July. We want to go to Bozcaada for a few days and I wonder if anyone can suggest the best route and buses to get there. I was thinking of breaking the journey up and seeing Cannakele for one night to make the trip a bit easier...it is a holiday after all! Any advice would be appreciated. I aprticularly like the idea of getting the ferry to Bandirma, and it looks like that would be the best route anyway.
Hi, you may go by CanakkaleTruva bus company from Istanbul to directly Bozcaada. Their web site is: http://www.truvaturizm.com/
They leave every one or two hours from the central bus station in Istanbul. You may get off at Geyikli port and take the boat to Bozcaada. The whole trip will take nearly 6 hours.
Thanks Systred, the website is useful and the timescales seem better than I thought. Still will stop off at Cannakele.

But we did it-as a team. A very pleasant experience in 2005 to work together- so called team building, and at the end, a nomination to get to Alabama/USA - see my other pages. A big big city, located beween east and west
When visiting a Turkish home, it is customary to take off your shoes as soon as you enter the house or the flat. The weather in Istanbul is rainy and the streets are renowned for their poor sate of hygiene. Usually they'll hand you a pair of sleepers to use while at home. I was really excited with this idea and I also do it at home.

Fener is an ancient quarter in Istanbul. It was the place where the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate settled in 1601, and it became a Greek district. Nowadays, it is a nice area to walk around, with many old houses. If you walk up, you will have beautiful views over the Bosporus. The population is mainly religious, and poor, but friendly too.
Fener is situated on the southern bank of the Golden Horn, a few kilometres north west of SultanAhmet. We went there by taxi, ask the driver to use the meter and it will be only a few turkish liras. Another option is to take the ferry.
The Grand Bazaar has four main gates situated at the ends of its two major streets which intersect near the southwestern corner of the bazaar. One street combines the Bayezid II Mosque and Bayezid Square with Nuruosmaniye Mosque.
The Main way (Kalpakcilar Basi Caddesi) of the Grand Bazaar is especially impressive!
You can watch my 2 min 01 sec HQ Video Istanbul Grand Bazaar part III out of my Youtube channel with Turkish pop music.

Q: day boat trip to black sea at end of November? "Hi! I'll be in Istanbul in the last week of November and first week of December. Do the boats still run to the Black Sea for..."
A: "I don't know if they will run then, but anyway they don't quite go all the way to the Black Sea, only nearly."
