There's a subway and tram system here. From airport, access subway at TL5/way. Tram is also TL5/way to any station within the city center. Tickets can be purchased at the vending machine at every station.
From blue mosque, we saw aya Sofia.. then walked all the way down to the Grand Bazaar.. unfortunately it is closed on Sunday.
Then took a tram to Sirkeci.. this is where u can see the Asia part of Turkey. There's also ferry trip or cruise along the river (ops we didn't check the price).
Staying in this area is recommended. There are many small hotels along the way from blue mosque to sirkeci (ferry station). Nice small restaurants and street food were also sighted.
We don't hv much time as we need to head back to the airport for our flight at 330pm. Boarding time is 230pm...
Even though it only take less than 30mins to reach the airport via train, waiting for the train could be a challenge..
That's all for Turkey (for now).
And owh... it's clear that we "missed" the tour bus back to airport right?. We just felt that 1.5h is not enough. As I mentioned the trip is 8.30am to 11am.. but everyone hv to be back at the bus before 10.15am. Bus will stop at the blue mosque. After simple explanation by thr tour guide, they left us to wander and ask us to gather back before 10.15am
Till then, Turkey. We will come back
