Hi,

I will be visiting Istanbul in May. I plan on staying there for about a week, maybe more.

What nice and safe places close to Istanbul could I visit? (I mean a place I can visit and return to Istanbul the same day or one day later). I would also like to know if there is areas in Istanbul that I should avoid for safety. Is one week in Istanbul enough, too much or not enough to see the area?

Thanks,

Renoir

Hi Renoir
Im from Istanbul and i hope that i can answer yur questions.
First of all i'll give advice to you for accomodation places in istanbul.
There re lots of places for Hotels.
You can stay at Taksim/Talimhane (Hotels area) There re lots of Hotels for Tourists.

You may visit Çanakkale very definitely.You can turn back in 3 hours to istanbul.
And "Bursa" 2 hours from istanbul (you can use car ferry for it)

And 1 week is enough i think (but you should care for your tempo :) )
Dont forget to visit "Hipodrom Center" (sultanahmet,Topkapi Place and more....)

And you can visit this link also see where you should visit
