A day of guided discovery of the Asian side in Istanbul! Kadikoy is one of the very lively districts of the Asian side, as much for locals as for travelers. It's a subtle mix of dynamic and creative youth, shops of all kinds, passionate tattoo artists, themed bars and restaurants. In Kadiköy it is not uncommon for cultural and protest events to start from the famous place of the bronze bull. Its typical open-air market, active every day of the week, makes it a place of massive attraction.

Kadiköy is a district where there is a lot to see and to do. The boats at the docks alone make it an attraction. Feed the seagulls, visit the 1900 Haydarpasa train station, a trip back in time frozen in a souvenir photo, drink tea or enjoy Turkish ice cream in Moda by the Sea of ​​Marmara. Kadiköy is a must-see place to discover, if you have the time and the inclination to share the rhythm of Istanbul's life with a local inhabitant, this is where it happens!
