so which one on those 3 photos are you? 

 I havent upload my pics here. these pics are from newspapers.

of course we didnt take part in professional marathon. we were in public running, we just walked through bridge. Bridge is not open pedestrians normally, that why it was a good chance to see istanbul and bosphorus from bridge.

Viewing Bosphorus from the bridge must have been wonderful experience,great thing that such event could  happen giving  the citizens and tourists a life chance to enjoy it. I wish I was there then,Long live Istanbul!

one of the other most amazing things to do in Istanbul is to take a long walk from Taksim to Eminunu and see how busy it is there. I love that paved street. To clear my head I always took a walk there by Taksim

Check out Arnavutkoy and Bebek I also walked down those roads, it is very nice, especially when it was raining.

I lived in Mecidiyekoy, so the coolest for me was to walk to Profilo mall, on the way there were little shops and tea cafes  that I enjoyed visiting. Just to sit and have a smoke with a glass of tea

One thing I loved about Istanbul is that, it is so clustered that you can walk for miles and there would always be a shop or some kind of building, so you can walk and be entertained for hours.

Go to the Sultan Ahmet Area, sit there and just watch the people and tourists or go to the Topkapi palace. But if you want to mix more with the Turkish people instead of the tourists, avoid the Sultan Ahmet area, rather chill out at Ortakoy, Besiktas and Arnavutkoy.
