Po ko zna koji put, okrećem novu stranicu dnevnika putovanja, ovog puta novi naslov- Istanbul. Nebrojeno malera me je sačekalo na putu do tamo ali to nije sprečilo nalet adrenalina koji se uvek javi kada stanem na tlo novog grada i ne znam šta me čeka iza ugla.
Sa jedne strane Istanbul, najveći grad u Turskoj i jedini grad koji se prostire na dva kontinenta, sa druge strane ja, jedna osoba u moru turista i činjenica da imam samo 5 dana da vidim sve što sam zacrtala pre polaska.
Prva stavka- Azija!
Ovo je bio najveći pogodak čitavog putovanja. Turiste vode jedino na evropsku stranu, što je po mom mišljenju velika greška, jer je u Aziji srce Istanbula.
Kadiköy- centar azijskog dela u kome se odvija život, mešaju mirisi, domaća hrana na svakom koraku, bazar!
Vrlo lako se dolazi trajektom, sačekaće vas muzika sa svih strana.
_________________________________________________________________________Exploring Istanbul
For the umpteenth time I'm turning over a new page of my traveldiary, this time, new headline- Istanbul. So many bad things happened until I got there, but, that didn't stop andrenaline rush that always appears when I stand on the ground of the new city not knowing what's waiting around the corner.
On one side Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey and the only city that lies on two continents, on the other side, I, one person in a sea of tourists and a fact that I have only 5 days to see everything I wanted to see.
First stop- Asia!
This was the best decision i made before trip. Tourists go only to the European side which is in my opinion a big mistake, because Asia is the heart of Istanbul.
Kadiköy- center of the Asian part where you can feel the life, mixed smells, homemade food on every corner, bazar! You can easily go there by ferry, the music will wait for you on every corner.

Na bazaru ima svega što možete poželeti, alva, kafa, čaj, ratluk, riba, simit, voće, povrće, cveće i mnoge stvari za koje nisam sigurna šta su ali, naravno, mora da se proba!
At the bazaar you can find everything you can wish for, coffee, tea, halva and other Turkish delights, fish, simit, vegetables, fruit and many other things which I'm not sure what they are but of course, must be tasted!
Nakon bazara, na redu je Moda, miran kraj pored vode, sa koga se pruža prelep pogled na Sultanahmet. Potpuno drugačiji od užurbanog dela, pruža stanovnicima mogućnost da se sklone od svakodnevnih problema dremanjem na travi, sunčanjem, ispijanjem čaja u potpunoj tišini.
After the bazaar, comes Moda, quiet place by the water which offers a beautiful view of Sultanahmet. Completely different from the busy part Kadikoy, gives people possibility to get away from everyday problems by sleeping on the grass, drinking tea in silence.
Dok ste još na ovoj strani obavezno posetite mesto sa kog se vidi Maiden's Tower iliti Kiz Kulesi , zalazak Sunca je jedan od najlepših koje sam ikada videla.
While you are still on this side, you should visit the place from which you can see the Maiden's tower- Kiz Kulesi, the sunset is the one of the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Druga stavka- Evropa!
U evropskom delu se može videti zašto je Istanbul nekada bio prestonica tri carstva, a velelepne džamije, palate to najbolje pokazuju. Top pet mesta za obići:
The next stop- Europe!
On the European side you can see why Istanbul once was the capital of three empires, a magnificent mosques, palaces are the best examples. Top five places to visit:
1. Aja Sofija / Hagia Sophia
4. Grand Bazar- Jedan od najstarijih bazara na svetu, gde možete videti/kupiti odeću, keramiku, tepihe, lampe, kožu. Cenjkati se je obavezno!
4. Grand Bazaar- One of the oldest markets in the world, where you can see/buy clothes, ceramics, carpets, lamps, leather... Bargain is must!
5. Taksim trg- jedna od glavnih turističkih atrakcija, poznat po mnogobrojnim radnjama, restoranima, barovima. Velika je gužva uvek, ali treba otići s obzirom na to da se ovaj trg smatra centrom modernog Istanbula.
5. Taksim square- a major tourist attraction, known for its numerous shops, reastauants, bars. It's always crowded but you have to go there because it's considered the center of modern Istanbul.
Obavezno probajte! You should try!
1. Kafu/ Coffee
2. Ratluk uz kafu/ Turkish delights

3. Čaj/ Tea
4. Simit
5. Turski doručak/ Turkish breakfast
I meni je Istanbul ostao bas u lepom secanju. Spoj razlicitih kultura, toliko bogate istorije koja se delom i nas tice, egzoticna kuhinja, a ponajvise tursko kupatilo koje sam posetila. Na trenutak sam osecala kao da sam u haremu :)
ReplyDeleteDa, tursko kupatilo je posebna prica kojoj bi trebalo posvetiti poseban post pod nazivom Kako da udovoljite sebi :))
