Hi, I’m İpek, and I love sharing the magic of Istanbul! For me, this city is like stepping into a living museum, where history and modern life blend seamlessly. From Byzantine churches to Ottoman palaces, every corner of Istanbul tells a story. I love exploring new international restaurants and discovering hidden gems—whether it’s a cozy café or a quiet spot with an incredible view. I know the neighborhoods of Sultanahmet, Taksim, Üsküdar, Kadıköy, and Beşiktaş really well and can introduce you to their unique charm. I’m also great at finding hidden spots even most locals don’t know about, and I have a knack for finding places where you can shop without breaking the bank, from local markets to hidden gem stores. Let’s explore Istanbul together!
