Hello everyone here i am with the summary of my latest trip to Istanbul it was an eight day trip we booked turkish airline which was perfect …as i was traveling with my 2 year old so we booked apartment from air bnb which cost 50 dollar per night it was a 2 bedroom appartment with kitchen n the location was superb 2 mins walk frm apparment to blue mosque…we took few trips
1) princes island tour we booked from opos travel which was 170 lira per person i found it quite expensive.( my advice plan your tour ur self dont rely on any one u can go get the fairy n have as much time as u want its cost effective).
2) trip to Via land theme park …this time we booked our uber went there took tickets ( never buy ticket for safari n aquarium they have nothing but few reptiles n a lazy train its useless we wasted 100 lira 😑) over all trip was nice another warning dont take normal taxi they are way to expensive they charge double then uber…we ve tried them.
3) Cruise tour …we took 2 hour ( short tour) it was awesome we took uber to eminonu n bought our tickets from there it was way to cheap 12 lira per person.
If you are taking dollar or euro with u grand bazar will give u best exchange rates.. and if you are going for shopping flea market is must go place there is Wednesday market near fatih mosque and trust me it was dirt cheap n u can find all Turkish clothes spices shoes bags etc.. try using tramp or uber ….i thought may be sharing my experience with all of u will help anyone in this group.

Thank you, total cost and how to plan your self? Any websites or land there and do everything yourself?

You can do to princess island in 5 TL from eminonu :p
And you can go to eminonu from sultanahmet by tram and underground metro.

Yup we realised it after our first trip
Over all princess islans itself is suchh a waste of time. 2 ghante aane k aur 2 ghante jaane k sirf ek stinky taange ki sawaari k liye. Its quite over rated.
