I `m off once again for a quickie weekend to Istanbul in June (lost count of the no. of times ) i want to buy Cds of famous Turkish pop singers , the popular songs , a compilation of all the hits ....something along the line of RAFET EL ROMAN song BANA SEN LAZIMSIN .
Can you kindly list for me the popular pop artists along with the names of the songs ? i`m interested in pop nothing ethnic ,old as i go according to the tune hardly know the lang.
Also there is a very famous Turkish husband and wife duo singers, they `ve been around for a while and have one particular hit song ,can you remind me of them ?can`t seem to think righta the top of my head at the moment .I `ll need to looke them up .
Also where to buy Cd`s ? which area? any shops like record shops ?anywhere in particular reasonably priced ? oh and what are the prices like ? Do they do compilation Cd`s of all the popular songs of various artists ,what are they called in Turkish ?.

kenan dogulu - askkolik

levent yuksel
MFO
barıs manco
mazhar alanson (from MFO)
izel - celik - ercan
" Turkish husband and wife duo singers, they `ve been around for a while and have one particular hit song" that didn't rang any bell :(
are you asking about brother and sister couple. they are oyku & berk..
i hope it helps.
Hi there ,
Thanks a bunch for your reply , i`ll print it out .I `haven`t gone yet .Tend to spend time on work/leisure related trips around the area where Turkish channels are dominant so instead of whinning wanting other (American) thought i`ll join em and acquire a taste , turns out some are very good.
Oh managed to recall the song this couple sings... its Giderim bu diyardan Oya-Bora.
Welcome to VT.
Cheers.
oh Oya-Bora.. they are very old singers. and yes they were popular again.
and sorry for the Turkish characters (ı) I keep forgetting not to write in these letters (:
thanks.
The fondest memory of Istanbul? People we met! They presented us their time and their hearts. They made an increadible table (on a floor) They danced for us a traditional curdish dance. They played buzuki!
Thank you, Chadash, Kadyr, Arif & Felis!

Approx. 10kms from Sultanahmet.
From Sultanahmet - take the tram (Kabatas-Zeytinburnu Tramvay) and get off at Yusufpasa tram station (5th station from Sultanahmet).
Walk up the stairs /pedestrian bridge, turn left, then take the down stairs on your right, walk a minute and turn left on the first street, walk some 50 meters just before the main highway on your left is the underground passage/pedestrian. Get down, walk to the right passing many shops until the end and take the stairs on your left (you can follow the sign) and you’ll emerge on the façade of the metro terminal, buy a ticket from the window and get down to the metro track below.
This metro will take you to the huge main bus terminal of Istanbul. It’s the 6th metro station (Otogar) from Aksaray station.
From Taksim - the best way is by bus, from the main bus depot in Taksim Square, wait for Bus# 83 O (letter O), this is the Otogar-Taksim bus that will whisk you in an hour to the main Otogar.
From Ataturk Airport - piece of cake - get out from the main arrival exit door of the airport, turn right and few meters you’ll see the elevator and the Metro sign, get down and at the far end to your left is the Metro station. Buy a token and jump in the Metro (Havalimani-Aksaray Metrosu). The Otogar station is the 10th metro station from the airport (not including the Airport station on your count of course).
In most places there are no price-tags. You are supposed to ask and a price would be given depending on where are you from and how innocent you look outside. Taksim is a better place to shop than in Bazars where you are always tied into a friendly conversation and find it diffciult to get out of it.
Ah, don't you just love the dodgy buildings as you stroll the deserted streets on a winter's morning with the frost biting at your fingertips and the cobbled stones imprinting on your shoes checking out the faded colours of an empire in decay. I did.
Ciragan Palace was an Ottoman palace. It was constructed between 1863 and 1867. Now it is a five-star hotel of the Kempinski Hotels chain. It is located on the European shore of the Bosporus between Besiktas and Ortaköy.

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."
