Hi
Is Sulaymaniye still close for refurb in September? Anyone know when roughly it will open again? Been in Istanbul last year but it was close.
I am also looking for suggestions on good traditional turkish food which is cheap and not touristy, a place where turks will go themselves. Something like kanaat restaurant in Uskudar. I love to try the pilaf, the meat and vege dishes - superb traditional turkish meal. Within sultanahmet/sirkeci/beyoglu/Taksim area and surrounding which easily accessible.
Another unrelated question - I usually bought souvenirs at a shop on istiklal caddess - AK Kristal. Is this shop still around? I found that the price there is so reasonale (cheap) compare to those in sultanahmet (bazaar esp).
Just to say that I have been to istanbul every year since 2007 for couple of days and still yearn to come back!! Love the people and the atmosphere most.
Thanks in advance

Hi,Suleymaniye is still under renovation but I don't know if it will be open in September. If I learn something about it, I can inform you about that. Something like Kanaat in Uskudar, could be Bereket or Afacan on Istiklal Street. I think I have Bereket on my restaurant reviews. For souvenirs, if you come out of the touristic center you will find reasonable rates anywhere. Try shops not located in central areas. I understand that you have been to Istanbul a few times already, but if you need suggestions on things to do and restaurants, take a look at my Istanbul page. Regards from Istanbul :)
Thank you very much for info and suggestion! Will try the suggested restaurant.

The Turkish cuisine is very famous in the world.
While walking in Istanbul i saw a lot of places to eat - almost every second store is a food store.
They have a lot of simit stands outside and people selling simit while walking with a large mountain of simit on their head.
Simit is like a round bread.
They drink a lot of yogurt called ayran as far as i remember and also with Kebaps.
Turkey is a Kebaps heaven - a lot of kebaps vendors and stores - sometimes even store next to another.
This page is actually for the people who live in Istanbul and who wants to have a good weekend near Istanbul by the sea.
Kýyýköy can be an idea to have good weekends. It's almost 2 hours far away from Istanbul by car (buses to Kiyikoy is available). Not too much things to see but you can swim if Black Sea can make you swim!!!
There are almost 20 pensions in there, not very nice but very cheap. There are also some hidden little restaurants to have a great sea food dinner. But please be careful about the Black Sea! No game!
This cafe is named after a French naval officer / novelist who used to come here to contemplate and write his books. In Loti's time, the cafe was a simple, humble place with a few stools and a small stove for brewing Turkish coffee.
Today the cafe is far nicer, with shady tables, choice of eats and even a hotel and a Restaurant. It is really a nice area. I just bought and ice-cream and drink and enjoyed the wonderful views of the Golden Horn. Its one beautiful view!
HOW TO GET HERE. .....If you feel like walking, make the 15-minute stroll uphill from Eyup through the picturesque cemetery.
If not, take the cable car, and walk down to Eyup after your coffee.
