Dear Luke Martin and Sabrina Davidson from Chopsticktravel are in Istanbul and were my guests.
I went to the city center very early in the morning before meeting with them. We had packed our breakfast and tea and head to the garden of Yavuz Sultan Selim Mosque. It has a gorgeous view of Golden Horn on top of Fatih hills. In the breakfast We had simple sandwiches and a white cheese borek along with fresh pogacas we bought from the bakery.

Then I met with Martin and Sabrina at the Findikzade tram station and had a small tour in one of the biggest street bazaar Opens on fridays in that area. More about biggest street market watch this vlog: https://youtu.be/Q3QndGswVvw
We had tea time with special Turkish treats in a 16th-century old Madrasah School that is serving as a charity now. We had a great time and talked about what we can do together.
