Spotter since 2018
"Bord İstanbul" is one of the city's best restaurants and it's right inside the naval museum. Everything's fresh, organic and seasonal here...

"Helvetia" in Asmalimescit, Beyoglu, Istanbul is one of my favorite spots to have quick lunch. I really like the cozy communal feeling of this place...
By
"Müz Botanik & Kahve" in Istanbul is a plant shop, workshop space, cafe & design store in Istanbul. Just the name 'muse' was enough for me to fall in love.

"Firuze İKSV" in Istanbul is a beautiful place for meze, cocktail and raki with a modern twist. It has a stunning view over the Golden Horn - how lovely!
By
"Misk" is one of my favorite places in Istanbul -- their beautiful flower arrangements and sense of decoration really pushes their moniker 'floral cafe'.
By
"Cuma Cafe" is my favorite spot for a long brunch or coffee & dessert in Istanbul. Their scrambled eggs w/ goat cheese on sourdough toast is a must-taste.
By
"Yeni Lokanta" is a good spot to start exploring the Anatolian cuisine in Istanbul. You just have to try their kisir (bulgur salad) with sour cherries...
By
"Corinne Brasserie" is my favorite work & chill shelter in Istanbul. It's not just a good place to have a break, their drinks are classy & sophisticated.

About me
An Istanbul-based freelance digital marketing professional with a literature background. Communication is art, art is a form of communication and I am obsessed with these two in my both personal and professional life.
Being an exploration addict with a passion for travel, I think it’s the best way to explore the world by collecting stories.
Find me at the best concerts and theatre plays in town and I will always be ready to share my recent discoveries & tips with you!
Why Istanbul
Istanbul: they call it chaos, we call it home.
It’s the city where the past & future and East & West meet. One of the most multicultural cities in the world — very rich in cultural heritage from its history as a Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman capital.
“Istanbul is inspiring because it has its own code of architecture, literature, poetry, music.” – as Christian Louboutin has said. I am the chaser of this inspiration and addicted to exploring its secrets at every corner.
