I'm Carol, an expat living in Turkey for over 8 years now. I'm a professional travel advisor in the destination and I'm really happy to share with you my best recommendations so you can visit Istanbul easily and love the city as much as I do.

Being such a huge city with tons of options (that many times leave us confused about what is worth it or not), Istanbul has so much to offer but it's also so easy to make mistakes.

I've curated the best attractions, restaurants and hidden gems for you to spend the most enjoyable days in the city. A mix of old and new, traditional and modern, touristic (in a good way) and local.

Let me help you navigate this magical city!
