Fabulous stroll around the backstreets of Karakoy visiting numerous eateries and sampling local cuisine as the locals have it. Erol was a great host and as we walked through the walkways explained the architecture and important events that shaped istanbul to the magnificent coity it is now. Loved it all . Thank you
