Creator tips for Istanbul
"For food lovers like you and I, Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar, also known as the Egyptian Bazaar, is a place you don’t want to miss."
"As is the custom in mosques, you park your shoes at the door and women cover their heads. If you don't have a scarf, loaners are available at the door."
"If you’re hoping to save some money on accommodations, there are some fantastic hostels and budget hotels to check out. The city also has many luxurious hotels that are well worth the price."
"Moda in particular is our fav spot, down by the Moda pier is a quiet little walkway along the waters edge with views out across the lesser known Istanbul."
