Hi Keryn – Thanks! I really do not recommend this tour in January, as it will be too cold. Maybe you can take a ferry to the Big Island (called Buyukada) only.

Gorgeous photos! Planning to visit all your recommendations, but I wonder what they will be like in January, too cold? Also can you tell me what lens you use? Excellent blog, thanks for sharing!

Hey Cenk, in need of a little inspiration. Still at work must be quick so excuse any grammatical errors or anything else that sounds silly!
I am off to Turkey on the 22nd of this month with my wife and 3yr old boy. We will be in Istanbul for 4days and was looking for some inspiration. I have been on numerous occasions ever since I was knee high but didn’t really explore until I was pretty much allowed to play out after dark!! I have pretty much done all the norm. the usual sites etc but now i’m looking for something a little more. I am an interior designer and my wife is a fashion designer and we do have Istanbul Modern first on our list of pleaces to see. We all love food and are prepared to travel long distances for good grub. I love Asian food and having a Vietnamese wife…. well you know the rest. I also have on my list one the House Cafe restaurants in Istinye designed by Autoban as purely an eploration of interiors and architecture may try food while i’m there, who knows. Anyway I did mention I was at work so better sign off before this turns into a book or I get sacked!!
Look forward to hearing from you or anyone who may wish to help out a stranger….

Merhaba Cenk! – I saw your story yesterday in the SF Chronicle and wanted to check you out. I visited Istanbul some years ago (at my ex’s family) and loved it. We visited Buyukada one day, so your lovely pictures brought back some memories. Did I mention that I LOVED the food in Turkey?? I hope to go back one day…inshallah!

Your photographs – they are poetic, they are art, they are life. Absolutely fantastic.

Berit – Helloo!! I missed you a lot Berit! Congrats again on the engagement…

MariannaF – Thanks! Hope you visit Turkey soon and please do let me know.

Hande – I already told my own stories about those two places on my blog. Wanted the WWB post to be a little informative this time.

Pixen – I guess it all depends on the mood of the person at that exact time. I usually ask permission before I take pictures but this time it was a group of people and I just couldn’t miss the opportunity

mz – Çok teşekkür ederim Beğenmene çok sevindim. Sanırım dediğini yapacağım, birazcık daha zaman var..
