Travel in Istanbul's Friends

Here you can find the links to some of the best hotels, restaurants, shops and friends I’ve collected in my days in Istanbul. I don’t want to say that these are the BEST, but I’d recommend any of them to all my friends, because these are the places and people I love most in this city and the reason why I can not stop going there.
