Wandering through the streets of Istanbul feels like stepping into a living storybook. Each cobblestone, every bustling bazaar, and the whispers of history in the air – it's a captivating journey back in time and into the heart of a vibrant city.
Stroll along the Grand Bazaar, where the echoes of merchants from centuries past still resonate. Lose yourself in the maze of alleyways, discovering treasures in every corner, and savoring the scent of exotic spices that linger in the air.
The majestic architecture of the Blue Mosque stands tall, with its intricate domes and graceful minarets. Inside, the light filters through stained glass, creating a serene and awe-inspiring ambiance.
As the sun sets over the Bosphorus, the city transforms into a symphony of lights. The Galata Bridge, connecting ancient and modern, comes alive with locals casting their fishing lines and vibrant restaurants serving fresh catch.
The night is a canvas painted with the glow of the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapi Palace, reminding us that this city was once the heart of two great empires.
Istanbul's streets tell a tale of a city that has embraced change while holding on to its rich heritage. It's a place where every step is an adventure, every corner a new chapter in a timeless story.
Seten Restaurant in Cappadocia opened in 2010 and became the most loved place for tourists. The food is all authentic Turkish to modern delicacies.
Our dishes ordered came in earthen pots and pans which I absolutely loved. Its location also is very near to the main goreme square.
If you are guests of Sultan Cave Suites, you can watch the sunrise in Cappadocia on the terrace, but if you are not, don’t forget: the nights are as beautiful as the mornings and this view is waiting for you at Seten Restaurant.
