An Istanbul Journey: Photos & Fortunes
Discover Istanbul through a unique experience where photography meets fortune telling. Join me, a local photographer, fortune-teller and a full time local, for a day filled with exploration, creativity, and a deep dive into Istanbul’s rich culture.
We’ll start our journey by meeting at a local tea house, where we’ll chat over a cup of traditional Turkish tea. Together, we’ll decide on the spots in Istanbul that best match your interests for photography, whether it’s iconic landmarks like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia or hidden gems off the beaten path.
Our first stop will be the historic Şehzade Mehmet Mosque, a perfect location to capture stunning photos while learning about the fascinating blend of Roman, Ottoman, and Turkish influences. We’ll then take a short walk to Süleymaniye Mosque, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the city and capture the essence of Istanbul from above.
Next, we’ll relax on a rooftop with a cup of Turkish coffee, where I’ll offer you a traditional coffee fortune reading. As we sip our coffee, I’ll interpret the patterns in the grounds and share insights into your future, blending ancient traditions with modern-day exploration.
Finally, we’ll stroll through vibrant bazaars and charming streets, capturing unique photos and soaking in the local atmosphere. We’ll end our day with a delicious serving of baklava in Karaköy, reflecting on the memories and photos we’ve created together.
This experience is perfect for families, couples, and solo travelers looking to immerse themselves in Istanbul’s culture through the lens of a camera and the mystique of fortune telling.
I look forward to sharing this special day with you, just like a local!
