It's time to cross the bridge to head toward the airport, on the Asian side of Istanbul.

The bridge in the photo has been renamed the July 15 Martyrs' Bridge following the failed coup attempt in 2016.Meer informatie

The modern skyscrapers of Istanbul
14 augustus 2024, Turkije ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
The days when the Galata Tower, standing 67 meters tall, was the tallest building in the city are long gone.
Today, Istanbul (especially the Asian side) is full of skyscrapers that reach nearly 300 meters in height.

The tallest building of Istanbul and of Turkey is the Skyland Office Towers. However, the one with the most unusual shape is the Çamlıca Tower, which, with its long antenna, reaches a height of 370 meters. The tower stands out and is clearly visible when driving across the bridge towards the airport.

The European side of Istanbul remain linked to the past and it attracts tourists. The Asian side looks to the future and attracts businesses and companies.Meer informatie

It's time to leave!
14 augustus 2024, Turkije ⋅ 🌬 33 °C
Istanbul, like Rome and other cities with a millennia-long history, has so much to offer that one could spend a year there without never getting bored.

But unfortunately, it’s time to head home, with a layover in Sofia, Bulgaria first. A long layover that will allow me to see the city center.

(If you want to see photos of Sofia, Bulgaria, I created a separate section on my Find Penguins profile).Meer informatie
