   Noter Sokak

   This is one of the streets where young people spend the most time on Bağdat Avenue... The avenue splits the street in two, with plenty of cafés on both the upper and lower sides. A great spot to spend some time.

   A spot that brings Spain's famous calamari sandwich to Erenköy beautifully — and its kokoreç is every bit as good. You have to try the calamari sandwich!

    Caddebostan Shore

    At Caddebostan shore, grab your drink, sit on the grass facing the Princes' Islands and end the tour watching the sea. A wonderful view awaits, especially at sunset. By day or by night, it's a delightful final stop — and route!

Times between stops are rough estimates from straight-line distance.

We drew the path. Leave the rest to Istanbul.
