About this tour

This self-paced walking tour takes you across to Istanbul's Asian side, the quieter half of the city that most visitors skip. With an audio guide leading the way, you'll wander through busy local markets and bazaars, step into historic mosques, and stroll the residential backstreets where daily life actually happens. Along the route you'll find spots to try Turkish food and drinks, plus wide-open views back toward the Istanbul skyline across the Bosphorus.

  • Step inside historic mosques and other religious sites
  • Wander the quiet residential backstreets away from the tourist crowds
  • Taste Turkish food and everyday local flavors along the way

Good to Know Before You Walk

Departure times and how long the walk runs can shift with the season and availability, so check your specific tour schedule for the current start times before you head out. Walks run most days of the week, and you can usually pick a morning or an afternoon slot to suit your plans.

You'll be on your feet for a few hours, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Since the route stops at mosques and other religious sites, dress modestly: women should cover shoulders and knees and carry a headscarf, as it may be needed to enter a mosque, and men should skip shorts and sleeveless shirts.
