It's not your typical itinerary. This is more about the quirky, cool and totally unclassifiable Istanbul. You may still get to see the monuments, but rather than walking around with an audio guide on your ears, why not sign in for a photography tour and hear all about it from a photographer's view point?
Or, why not stop by a fancy fantasy photo studio after visiting Topkapi Palace, dress up like a woman from the Harem and get a photo shoot in a historical set up?
If you like adrenalin, rafting and hiking, check out daily tours for offbeat activities... There is just so much else to do in Istanbul, if you do want to go a little offbeat!
