A Sweet Walk to the Bosphorus

[defolumal]

Nowadays, I feel like walking is an old, forgotten craft. I used to take short walks to clear my thoughts, or to exercise, or just to listen some music... But I spent less and less time walking as I rush around everywhere in a casual, busy life; so-called "Business Life" or even on the one you should enjoy, so-called Social Life... To be honest, I had totally forgotten about my old habit of taking short walks and been reminded, encouraged by this community. So here is my short walk on a rainy day,
to the seaside, the Bosphorus :)

In Istanbul, every walk you take could be like a historic tour. I decided to take a walk to the district Karaköy; which has a coast to Bosphorus and the essence of the ancient history of the city (and only 10 minutes to my home :). The district has undergone an urban transformation like 10 years ago and now, it is quite an attraction point for both tourists and locals. There are both vintage and modern cafes/pubs and it has pretty chill&vintage vibes. It is offering an alternative for nightlife and casual socializing for the young people for several years.

This is my view after I took a couple step from my home...

Sweet little cat shelter :)

I have never been to Istanbul, so thank you for bringing it here. I especially liked the Univerity of Arts and the small streets of Karaköy among other things.

Heheh, cat shelter, nice thing!
