First few friends
Having arrived in Istanbul I searched for an hour for someone holding a sign with my name on it, ready to cart me off to my hostel. Unsuccessful I gave up and waved down a taxi. My taxi was a smiling man in his late 60s. He was pleased with my desires to learn the language and persisted in teaching and testing me on words and phrases. When he …
Km 2800, Istanbul, das Tor Asiens, erreicht!!
Rauf, runter, rauf, runter, rauf, runter... Etwa so kann man die Route von Xanthi bis Istanbul beschreiben.. Aber auch so; superfeines Essen, gute Gesellschaft, ein wahnsinns Willkommen in der Türkei und jeden Tag Sonnenschein! Ach ja, und natürlich jeden Tag das Velo unterm A....;-)
Ja die letzten Tage waren wirklich ein Genuss!

Vandaag na 10 uur geslapen te hebben toch nog redelijk brakjes opgestaan. De party van afgelopen week was er nog steeds niet helemaal uit. Ik heb m'n dagrugtasje maar omgedaan en een wandeling gestart uit het Istanbul boekje wat ik bij me heb.
In het park bij het Topkapi paleis heb ik eerst maar s een bankje opgezocht om een kopje te drinken …
Istanbul is not Constantinople
So after a little over a week a part, it was time to reunite in Istanbul. Each of us had our own way of reaching Turkey. Jon chose to take a boat to Bodrum and bus from there straight to Istanbul. Evren and Russell came overland via Sofia, Bulgaria. We all made it in one piece and gladly reunited at what would prove to be one of our best hostels …

TravelPod Member ReviewsMetropolis Hostel Istanbul
Paid 17 euros / night in the summer season. The location was great, and the view from the rooftop patio was amazing. Not the most social hostel during my stay there, but I understand they were organizing free shisha and a pub crawl to Taksim Square the night I left. The Turkish buffet breakfast was definitely one of the hostel's most redeeming features.

The staff are not only extremely helpful but absolutely hilarious! The view, the food and the atmosphere at the rooftop bar are all amazing. I booked for 1 night and loved it so much I stayed and extra week. Clean, central and affordable, this hostel is a must for any Istanbul backpackers.
