You will see, the following pics look like they were taken from...
Paris ...
Venise...
But, no. They were taken from Beyoglu, what's called the vitrine of modern Turkey.
To be honest, we were a little bit disappointed by the place. Everybody told us Istiklal caddesi (street) was nice and full of activities. But at daytime and with 3 young kids... nothing special. We have to say that this special atmosphere was due to the holidays (bayram) and Istanbul was not itself.
Some streets are really nice like the fishery passage.
But the most interesting moment for the kids was when we were in the tramway...
The restaurants were also wonderful. It was so good to see these appealing places and we could imagine that this neighbourhood comes to life at night (not for us with our 3 kids:-)
For once and for a change, we enjoyed something very different from the usual turkish food.

But, be sure, we did enjoy a good meal...
