Hey guys! I've been doing a lot of research on TripAdvisor, Lonely Planet, Reddit and other forum-style travel resources. My wife and I (both 30yo) are going to IST in July of 2015. We have our flights booked, but now we're looking to finalize any lodging. We're planning on doing 3-4 days in IST before we head out to the typical tour around Turkey.
We typically opt for boutique hotels and avoid the tourist experience as much as possible. In a nutshell, we'd rather spend our time eating at a great local restaurant than visiting the crown jewels. We'd still do some sightseeing, but we're definitely there more for the experience.
For example, our favorite part of Florence, Italy was having a bottle of wine on the steps of the duomo in the evening and watching people walk about the city.
At the moment, we've narrowed down our hotel location to either Kadıköy or Kumkapı. I realize they're on opposite sides.
We'd really be hoping for some basics from our hotel including avoiding international chains, having air conditioning, having a rooftop bar/deck. Our pricing per night for the hotel would be $60USD to $80USD. I realize July is the high season, but I did see quite a bit of stuff in that price range on Lonely Planet.
Can anyone give me some advice? I'd really appreciate it.
Congratulations on the new subreddit. My girlfriend and I are visiting IST from the 24-28 of this month (not much time, I know) and are excited to spend time exploring. We are staying near Taksim, but definitely want to spend some time on the Asian side. Besides walking around and just exploring and shopping, are there any tourist type places that might be interesting to visit?
Also, I'm very excited about the restaurants, bars and cafes all over Istanbul. The only place that seems to be mentioned again and again in reading about Kadikoy is Ciya Sofrasi and the sister restaurants. Does it live up to the hype and worth a visit? What are your favorite bars/cafes/restaurants in the neighborhood? We are very laid back and prefer sipping drinks and striking up conversation with new friends as opposed to loud nightclubs. Also, my girlfriend is vegetarian if any veggie friendly places spring to mind.
Lastly, how hard is it to get back to Taksim late at night? I heard ferries stop running early? Iyi gunler!
