Merhaba fellow travelers! We will arrive at 2 AM in Istanbul 9/5 for the tour starting 9/7. We've booked 9/4–9/6 at Galata's Hotel pre tour, and arranged for transfer through the hotel. Anyone else arriving at that date/time?
If so, you might be able to share our ride, but likely you will need to pay same as us ($60 + tip payable in cash at the hotel in USD, Euro, or TL). But you may want to call/email to confirm. (I paid for the 4th just so we could check in early on the 5th and snooze before exploring the area, which includes finding an ATM for TL.)
I'm hoping we can see the Basilica Cisterns on the 5th or 6th since that's not on the tour. Anyone want to join us?
5 more days! I'm so excited.
