Walking route around Galata, Karaköy and Istiklal

Flow: Galata morning, Karaköy midday, Istiklal evening — balanced, scenic, and tasty.


Route

  1. Coffee at Galata square.
  2. Tower visit and photos.
  3. Waterfront snacks.
  4. Evening along Istiklal.

Timing Suggestions

  • Start early for calm.
  • Midday waterfront breeze.
  • Sunset at the tower.
  • Night lights on Istiklal.

Photo rhythm: three frames per stop keep the album cohesive.
