5 days in Istanbul | Galata, Kadikoy and Bosphorus Cruise

Our trip to Istanbul wasn’t about ticking boxes, and this part shows exactly that. After the busy streets of Sultanahmet, the bazaars, and our first walks through the city, we stopped trying to turn Istanbul into a checklist. We just kept going — one view, one walk, one meal, one small moment at a time. From the views at Galata Tower to the chaos of trying to get that "perfect" photo, these are the small, real moments that made the trip. We spent our time wandering through Kadıköy, figuring out the hammam, making a bit of a rooftop mistake, and eventually finding ourselves on a Bosphorus cruise as the sun went down. No grand plans, no strict itineraries—just good company, too much Turkish coffee, and a city that kept giving us reasons to stay out a little longer.
