My City in 10 Photos ✨ Istanbul #club100

Hi Steemians ✨
I was very excited when I heard the WOX community's announcement of the contest, which is exactly for me, and prepared my post at the first opportunity. I will tell you about Istanbul, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Yes, it is difficult to fit it into 10 photos, but I tried to prepare a good summary🤗

1. Maiden's Tower

I would especially like you to look at the location of the Maiden's Tower. Because it is located in a magnificent place in the middle of the Bosphorus. One side of it faces Asia and the other side faces Europe. This tower, which has a very elegant appearance, is a magnificent tower like floating on the sea ❤️

2. Istiklal Avenue
Istiklal Avenue is the most crowded street of Istanbul. It is almost the heart of the city. On this street, you can find all kinds of shops, from second-hand booksellers to musical instruments, from famous dessert shops to restaurants, from boutiques to cafes. You can also get the chance to listen to the music of street artists in many styles 👌

3. Emirgan Grove

Emirgan is a grove full of various flowers and trees on the shore of the Bosphorus. It is a grove where you can watch the unique beauty of the Bosphorus while being in touch with nature. The most important feature of this grove is its tulips. Every tulip season in Emirgan Grove, the tulip festival takes place by making wonderful landscape designs from tulips 🌷

4. Rumeli Castle
Rumeli Fortress was used as an artillery stronghold. A magnificent historical place where you can see the sea from every side and hear the sounds of the waves. Today it is a magical place where you can sit in the gaps of the balls and enjoy the view ⭐

5. Kuzguncuk Orchard

The orchard, located in the Kuzguncuk district on the edge of the Bosphorus, belongs to the people of the region. Although it is in the center of the city, it is like a living space with its fruits and vegetables away from the chaos of the city. It also looks magnificent with the historical colorful mansions across it 🌱

7. Ihlamur Pavilion's Garden

Ihlamur Pavilion is a historical pavilion with a magnificent architecture. However, what I will talk about here is its wonderful garden. There are ducks, peacocks, various birds in the garden. The name of the pavilion, which has magnificent large trees, comes from the linden trees in its garden. There are 3 pools of different sizes and one of them is special for turtles. A great place to spend time in nature 🌟

It is very difficult to describe Istanbul in 10 photos because Istanbul is a source of history, nature and art. I have summarized it for you as best I can. I hope you like it and I hope everyone gets a chance to visit this fascinating city someday 🤩
