2025 Fatih Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Sea of ​​Marmara is the smallest sea in the world, with an area of ​​approximately 11,350 square kilometers. Geographically, it is located between the Anatolian Peninsula and the Balkan Peninsula in Europe. It is an inland sea formed by the subsidence of the Eurasian continental fault. There are two main island groups in the sea, one is Prince and the other is Marmara; before 1970, the inhabitants of the traditional inland mountain village of Prince moved to the coast and settled in Neos Marmaras, increasing the population of the island. Today Neos Marmaras is a popular tourist town and the numerous cafes, restaurants and bars along the seafront are very busy in the summer. This time we visited 2 islands by sailing. The beaches were beautiful and the water was clear and blue. I played in the water and sand and returned to my childhood memories without realizing it...

#December Travel Support Event There is a region called Fatih in Istanbul. Since there are no high-rise buildings in Istanbul, you can only go up to the 4th floor and see the whole view of Istanbul. There are many orange streetlights in the alleys, so the colors are really pretty. And since there are mosques all over the city, you can enjoy the exotic night view from your accommodations.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent Istanbul is a really big city. So location is the most important thing for sightseeing, but since we were going to be there for a long time, we looked for a place that was a little quieter and safer. We were in an area called Fatih, and it was safer because it was a residential area for locals rather than tourists.

#DecemberTravelSupportEvent We stayed in the Fatih area of ​​Istanbul's Old Town. Our neighborhood was really nice. There were many playgrounds and schools, so it was safe, and the local residents and merchants were all friendly. There were a lot of stores around, so I was never scared.

"Istanbul is a lovely city, with so much flavor to offer and during the summer months is overwhelmed with tourists from all over the world, particularly from the U.S." - "Fascinating city of Istanbul! Spent two days walking around Istanbul, with obligatory site seeing and just as obligatory in a big city being followed by a man (happens almost in every city)." - "Istanbul is a beautiful city with great weather. While landing into the airport, one gets to see the Sea of Marmara and many ships and boats all around - what a delightful sight!" - "Just got back from Istanbul for a 3 night city break. Stayed at Grand Star Hotel in Taksim area and found hotel very good, despite reviews I had read which put me off a bit (other people's standards are obviously a lot higher than mine)."
