We decided to take a taxi to Anadalu (Anatolia)/the Asian side of the city last Sunday. We spent the afternoon in Kadikoy where we enjoyed the famous bazzar. The narrow streets of the market are filled with everything from fresh fish to ipods. We were mostly just looking as it's pretty difficult to really shop with the kids. However, I would say it is must see for anyone traveling to Istanbul. The taxi ride was a bit expensive, so we opted to take the ferry back home. The view of both sides of Istanbul including the awe inspiring Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque as well as the cerulean color of the Bosporus is breathtaking. We are looking forward to taking a longer boat trip up the strait in a couple of weeks.
