The mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths of Istanbul could keep you happily occupied for your entire trip: an eyeful of breathtaking architecture here, a good-natured haggle over a carpet there. Kick your trip off at the awe-inspiring Sultan Ahmet Camii (Blue Mosque), which is visible from many points of the city. Stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artifacts. The Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits.

Camlica hill is located on the Asian side, on an elevated position in Uskudar. You can reach it by ferry and then taxi (more scenic journey), or taxi all the way from European side via the Bosphorus bridge (also exciting as you cross the only bridge connecting two continents). The Camlica hill is the best viewpoint in Istanbul, as from here you see almost the entire Bosphorus strait, as well the whole city. It's a favorite local's picnic spot, wedding place with an open air restaurant and famous gozleme (Turkish teriffic pastry) eatery. Another new, outstanding attraction is the last year finished mind blowing Camlica Mosque, but you must read about it in a separate review.

You take the ferry boat from Imenunu, every 30 minutes. It's 10 minutes to Uskudar, you walk for about 15 minutes along the shore toward Maiden tower. Many dining options are available at fair price. View is amazing and worth going.
