Over the years, the Grand Bazaar expanded to become a sprawling roofed complex of thousands of shops, fringed by the tradesmen’s inns and workshops. In addition, there were various other amenities for the merchants who worked there, restaurants, a hammam, and a mosque.

Istanbul Airport (IST, IGA) is the main airport in the city. Located on the European side of Istanbul. The second, “minor” airport of the city, Sabiha Gökçen International Airport, is located on the Asian side. The Istanbul Airport is operational for only a couple of years, having served more than 40 million passengers. In its final phase, approximately by 2025, the airport will be able to handle up to 200 million passengers annually, becoming the biggest airport worldwide in terms of passenger traffic.
Eminönü is located in the west of Istanbul. According to sources, Eminönü is one of the places where Byzantium was first established. It is known that the Eminönü coast was ultimately a harbor during the Byzantine period. This historical place is one of the most frequented spots by tourists. The heart of trade beats in the region, which was first the capital of the Eastern Roman and Byzantine Empires, and then the center of the Ottoman Empire. Historical inns, which have been the center of uninterrupted trade and shopping for 1500 years, prove how much they were used in the past, although they are not used today.
Sometimes staying for long time makes us tired, and create that urge inside our soul and body to get some fresh air. istanbul is a very big colored and sometimes a crowded city. so, if you are planning for a quite calm weekend away from the city allow me to introduce you to some istanbul’s near places that you can get some fresh air in and believe me it will be worth it.

As we all know istanbul is so diverse, because of its huge area and the different view that it overlooks, it has an amazing view on the bosphorus as we know, a huge sea shore on the marmara sea, and from the north it has a coast on the black sea too. the black sea is around 35 km away from taksim square in average, because there are some close places to istanbul to the black sea, and more far away places too!
