Because we spent two months without our laptop in Turkey, we got very used to asking for help and directions from strangers. But Turkish people can never really be classified as Strangers, because they are so incredibly welcoming and helpful.   Even if they can’t speak much English they never shy away like we ourselves might …

Updated August 2018. The views from the Istanbul Pierre Loti Cafe at Eyup Istanbul are Panoramic.
