Title: Made exploring Istanbul more interesting - We used this guide while walking around the city and it honestly made the experience much more interesting. Instead of just visiting places, you read short stories and legends connected to them. It’s easy to follow and works really well if you like exploring at your own pace. A very different and enjoyable way to discover Istanbul.

Like walking through a graphic novel - This was a really fun way to explore Istanbul. Each stop reads like a short scene, so it almost feels like walking through a graphic novel set in the city. There are 29 stops and we couldn’t finish them all in one day, so we continued the route the next day. It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. A very unique way to see Istanbul.
