"Banyan" is my bar/restaurant of choice in Istanbul's Ortaköy for a drink or dinner after work. In their terrace you'll feel as if you're on a ship's deck.

"Forno Balat" in Istanbul has amazing breakfast -- the best scrambled eggs and open-buffet and homemade jams I've tasted in Turkey.

"Ä°skele Restaurant" is great for when you're in Istanbul and have something to celebrate & want to give yourself a treat. I recommend the fresh Lagos fish.

About me
Born in Ä°zmir, studied computer science in Ankara. Now occupied with pharmaceuticals, corporate strategy & sales force management. Of course work is the means to create the opportunity to travel, see different cities & cultures, taste different cuisines.
Other than traveling, I love traveling Istanbul by motorbike, performing drums on the stage and discovering new restaurants in Istanbul.
And above all
I love ARSENAL
Why Istanbul?
After living in 3 cities and traveling through more than 20 countries some of which I love, Istanbul is still my favorite city. The history, stories behind every street and finding a new attraction behind every corner makes this city amazing.
In a stone's throw away, you can find high end fancy gastronomical wonders and great street food together. There are always surprises so it is never enough to explore!
