THE LITTLE KNOWN THINGS ABOUT THE WELL-KNOWN For this reason, for the present and future visitors to Istanbul, along with what has been presented for years in this city, we have taken a fresh look at some places, which have either not been used particularly efficiently or not been known at all, creating23 routes under 10 basic headings and enriched them with not only historical andcultural information, but also up-to-date information. The routes have been mostly recommended as half-day walking routes. We have made a book, printed in five languages, an internet site, and also a mobile application to be used on these tours.Help yourself to Istanbul! Experience Istanbul like the old and new Istanbulites do.While doing this, get to know this 8,000-year-old city without being a “classic tourist”,using rail or sea transport and staying over without feeling the need for the addresses that everyone descends on! Welcome and it’s a pleasure you came!
