The seagulls follow the cruise ship, high and low, becoming the most agile embellishment of the beautiful bay.

#bucketlistreboot Under Galata Bridge, there are many restaurants and cafes that one can enjoyed good local food especially the fish. You can also take cruise a ferry ride around the river to see the Western and Asian cultures in Turkey. There are a lot of tourists around the area hence ones will never miss it ! We only tried the baked fish. I heard there are many other good delicacies from the river you will see people fishing whole day at the bridge area.

Whenever you go to the beach, there are flocks of seagulls circling around you. These cute elves have added a different style to this ancient city. Looking at the last look, I reluctantly went to the Galata Bridge to eat the fish burger. Each 6 lira, freshly grilled fresh fish on an antique boat, served with 2 lira kimchi.

Galata Bridge is the crossing from the city to the historical area of Istanbul. But this bridge is worth walking across in the morning or the evening, especially around sunset or sunrise. The locals use the bridge to fish and the tourists use it to unwind and take a moment to enjoy the sites of the city, it's rivers and the sunsets. Underneath the bridge are a collection of shop, cages and restaurants for those who enjoy a longer stop for a sunset dinner or drink. Just across the bridge is where a large number of the boats depart for the princes islands and tour cruises. My reccomndation is to just womble across around sunset and take a few moments to relax and enjoy the beautiful city of Istanbul. #i̇stanbultrip
