of food and for all budgets local markets clothing stores with excellent prices and even bars to enjoy the nightlife in the city [Music] this is one of the favorite places for locals to spend time with their friends the moda area is famous where one can relax while enjoying wonderful views and sunsets of the sea of marmara we also recommend you delve deeper into its local life and for this you can visit some of the most chic neighborhoods in katakuri these are mainly on badat street that runs from chateau boston to boston on the shore of
the sea of marmara [Music] another district that is relatively well known among tourists is usuda however they only focus on visiting the maidens tower and it is not for less since it also offers spectacular views especially at sunset however we recommend exploring its more local areas a bit more such as goosebumps which is honestly one of my favorite places in the city where we can find many cafes and restaurants and where the locals go especially on weekends its colorful houses and photogenic streets makes the site one of the favorites for photography lovers and its views
of the buzzwords are just impressive also on the bus for us in just a few minutes from kuzkunjuk we find one of the most beautiful palaces in the city and this is bailey located just below one of the bosphorus bridges [Music] and if we continue along the bus forest road we will arrived in chengalkoi and kuleli which likewise have spectacular views of the bosphorus and we have a great variety of very local restaurants along the buzzwords where we can enjoy a rich breakfast with beautiful views we also have other sites such as the chamlijah hill
which is the highest in the city and where one can enjoy spectacular views of the city and the bus for us here is also the largest most in turkey that bears the same name as the hill another site that can be visited is the champlain tower which is the tallest not only in turkey but in all of europe and which has observation decks to enjoy the views of the city [Music] if we want to visit something a little further away then anadolu cavalu is a great option this place is located very close to the black
sea on the shores of the bus first we can take a ferry from eminent port on the historic peninsula to anadolu it takes about 2.5 hours as it stops at every part along the bushes but the views are amazing when you arrive at anadolu you can enjoy the place in three hours where you can visit the euros fortress with views of the bosphorus and the third bridge that connects asia and europe you can also walk through its little streets and finish with a delicious meal in one of its many restaurants by the shores of the
buzzers [Music] the baku's district is another excellent choice on the asian side it's a bit far from the city center but if you have enough time in the city to also include those places off the beaten tourist path then it's worth including here you can visit the anatoly history fortress that was the key place in the fall of constantinople and if you want to have views of the bosphorus and the city in a unique and different way you can hire a canon session for one hour where the instructors take you through the bus first and
if you like parks you can visit otake which also has beautiful views of the city and the second bus versus bridge if you want to know more about each one of these sites we recommend you watch the videos we have on our channel for which we will share the links in the description box and in the pinned comment [Music] now that you know that the asian site has a lot to offer you'll want to venture out and explore some of its sites if you want to continue receiving more recommendations about istanbul and turkey in general
