Istanbul

(Unapred se izvinjavam na picture overload-u, manje nisam uspela da izdvojim)

Istanbul, grad koji spaja Evropu i Aziju, jedan je od najvećih gradova u Turskoj sa oko 11 miliona stanovnika. Mogu reći da je poprilično veliki, i deluje mi kao da bi mi trebala večnost da ga celog istražim. Ali, glavne stvari sam videla i obišla, lepo sam se provela i svašta naučila, definitivno ga preporučujem svima koji nisu bili, a ja se nadam da će me put još nekada navesti u divni Carigrad :)

(I apologize in advance for the picture overload, I didn't managed to extract less)

Istanbul, a city that connects Europe and Asia, is one of the largest cities in Turkey with a population of about 11 million. I can say that it is quite large, and it seems to me that i'l would need forever to explore it all. But the main things I've seen and visited, I enjoyed myself and learned all sorts of things, I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't been, and I hope I will visit again the great Constantinople :)

Plava džamija

The Blue Mosque

Izuvanje obavezno, obuću smo nosili u kesi sa sobom, prelepa džamija, mada dosta manja od Aja Sofije, meni se više dopada zbog njenih 6 umesto uobičajnih 4 minareta

Shoes off mandatory, we wore shoes in the bag with us, beautiful mosques, although much smaller than the Haghia Sophia, I like this more because of its six minarets instead of the usual 4

Aja Sofija

Hagia Sophia

916 godina bila je crkva, 481 godinu džamija, danas je muzej i veoma značajan spomenik arhitekture. Toliko je velika da bi u nju bez problema stao naš hram Svetog Save

916 years ago was a church, mosque 481 years, today is a museum and an important architectural monument. It is so big that Temple of Saint Sava would fit inside with no problem 

Topkapi palata 
rezidencija otomanskih sultana


Topkapi Palace
residence of the Ottoman sultans

Dolmabahče palata

Kasnija rezidencija sultana kao i predsednika Republike Turske. Po meni najlepša gradjevina koju sam tamo videla, nažalost nisu nam dopustili da fotografišemo unutra, ali sam uspela da krišom uslikam koju fotku enterijera. 

Dolmabahce Palace

Later as the residence of the Sultan and the President of the Republic of Turkey. For me the most beautiful building I've seen out there, unfortunately we were not allowed to photograph inside, but I managed to sneak some pics of the interior.

                                   

Ovo je čini mi se jedan od najvećih lustera na svetu, kažu poklon engleske kraljice sultanu, ova prostorija ima 2000m2, a ovaj tepih ima 124m2. Veći je nego većina naših stanova, da. Mada izbliza ne izgleda mnogo veliko...

This is, seems to me, one of the largest chandeliers in the world, says a gift of Queen to the Sultan, this room has 2000m2, and this rug has 124m2. It's bigger than most of our apartments, yes. Although it does not seem much big up close ...

Kapali čaršija, Grand Bazar

Grand Bazaar

E ovde sam potrošila skoro sav novac koji sam ponela. Prave izvorne turske stvari. Koža, nakit, suveniri, kopije, milina. Gomila hodnika punih robe i nasmejani turci koji su vazda spremni na razgovor i cenkanje. Ovde sam se vraćala dva puta. Vredelo je.

Here I spent almost all the money I brought with me. The real source of the Turkish stuff. Leather, jewelry, souvenirs, copies... A bunch of hallways full of goods and smiling Turks who are always willing to talk and bargain. I came back here twice. It was worth it.

Možda neko prepozna ove maske sa bloga Iphone maske, tamo koštaju oko 5000, a ovde su mi tražili 20e, i to nisam ni htela da se cenkam, ko zna do koje bi cifre dosla....

Maybe someone recognizes these masks from Iphone mask blog, there cost about 50e, and here we are looking for 20e, and I did not even want to bargen, who knows to what price will come ....

A sad malo random zanimljivih fotki koje bih podelila sa vama

And now some random interesting photos that I would like to share with you

Pileći djuveč, mmmmm fantastičan je bio

Chicken stew, mmmmm it was fantastic

Nešto za moju dušu

Something for my soul

30e, dual SIM, fomula1 hahaha

Samo sam tužno prošetala kroz H&M, pošto sam sve pare predhodno potrošila, ali ne brinem, stize H&M i kod nas na jesen :)

I just walked sadly through H&M, as I have previously spent all the money, but do not worry, H&M arrives to us in the fall :)

Turske mačke su me posebno oduševile, sve su debele i mazne. Nadam se da sam bar malo dočarala Istanbul onako kako sam ga ja doživela

Turkey cats are especially delighted me, all fat and cuddly. I hope I have at least a little conjured Istanbul as I experienced it myself
