Here I have few shots from a short trip to Istanbul(mostly Taksim square).
Let me start with the view from the top floor of Ottoman Palace hotel during breakfast

and these feathery guys joined us on time 🙂

The Monument of the Republic

Heritage tram in European side which is also called as Nostalgic tram of Istanbul

The Aga mosque

At night the square transforms completely to a party land where you see more neon lights, clubs playing loud trans music and stuff

24 hrs flower shops 🙂 yep! you never know when you will need a bouquet..;)

I found these little trolleys mostly selling chestnuts and simit bread which tasted divine..

I also had the privilege of making this wonderful bread alongside the local master bakers

When I was walking around the high street at night surrounded by Turkish goodness I couldn’t resist but to sample many interesting stuff like this Fig shawarma

This brief visit gave me a slight idea what Turkey/Istanbul has to offer and I will be visiting again for sure.
