Istanbul, Türkiye (Kadakoy)

After Uzbekistan, we chilled and did laundry in an Airbnb on the Asian side (Kadakoy) of Istanbul. We stayed in the city center on the European side and enjoyed that, but Kadakoy seems more local and was certainly less expense

Currently the largest mosque in Turkey, the Grand Çamlıca Mosque was completed and opened on 7 March 2019. The mosque stands astride Çamlıca Hill and is visible from much of the centre of the city
