Стамбул нравится мне этот город. Istanbul is my favorite city.

Hi all. So we decided to break away from Kyiv for a couple of days and fly to a country that does not require visas, does not require booking, does not require warm clothes, and most importantly, not a beach holiday. The choice clearly fell on Turkey Istanbul. The hotel was chosen in such a way that it was close to the center to the sea and to the Russian quarter, the Lyaleli shopping quarter. Chose between "Kent" and "Antik". The choice fell on Antique because the price - quality was in his favor. The hotel is located in a quiet side street. However, these days Muslims celebrate Ramadan. And opposite the hotel there is a michet from which a prayer service was heard, so much so that the child woke up at night and asked to close the window. The hotel has 5 floors. Two floors down. On which there is a disco and a sauna. However, due to the same Ramadan, the disco did not work. On the roof of the hotel there is a restaurant with a view of the marble sea and the Bosphorus. Each floor is decorated in its own style. What attracts. We lived on the second floor and our rooms were in the Byzantine style. However, the room is not very spacious. The bathroom is equipped of course with many things, but most importantly, it is small. . For a medium-sized person, turning around is already a problem so as not to hook anything. The food at the hotel is purely Turkish, in the morning scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, a couple of yogurts, meat and soy sausages, the girls are still outraged, but very tasty tea. Near the hotel there is a street cafe where everything is much tastier and cheaper. So if you are in the hotel area, I recommend not going to the cafe on the first line, but on the second. Everything is way cheaper. Not to mention the speed of service and ending with an assortment of delicious meat. It is very difficult to write something about the chain of boutiques, as it is simply chic. All the novelties of the world fashion are on sale. For shopaholics, it's heaven.
