#istanbul #istanbultravel #travel A lot of you asked about my color grading 🙏 Here is my Cinematic LUT pack + TwoClick PowerGrade: https://lais.store/ These are the exact tools I use for my travel documentaries. __________________ In this Istanbul travel documentary, we spent 4 days exploring Istanbul, Turkey - from ferry rides along the Bosphorus and traditional Turkish breakfasts, to historic mosques, local food spots, rooftop cafés, and late nights around Taksim Square. Over the course of four days, we explored both the European and Asian sides of Istanbul, visited places like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Maiden’s Tower, and Eminönü, while also experiencing the city through Turkish street food, tea culture, sunset cruises, and everyday life across the city. Whether it’s your first time visiting Istanbul or you’re planning a trip to Turkey, this video is meant to give you a more authentic look at the atmosphere, neighborhoods, food, and rhythm of one of the world’s most fascinating cities. __________________ Booked on Klook, 5-10% Discount with my Code: LAISTAHIRXKLOOK Basilica Cistern Ticket: https://klook.tpx.lv/N89TUjxh Hagia Sophia Ticket: https://klook.tpx.lv/nVRFHyHv Hotel we stayed at, and can recommend: Wonder Wood Hotel: https://trip.tpx.lv/RBoWFlCn __________________ Chapter: 00:00 Intro 00:19 Day 1: Mimar Sinan Roof, Maiden’s Tower, Taksim & Istanbul Nightlife 03:51 Day 2: Turkish Breakfast, Ortaköy Mosque, Eminönü & Taksim at Night 08:37 Day 3: Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern & Bosphorus Sunset Cruise 11:03 Day 4: Lades Menemen, Rumeli, Otağtepe Park & Bayramoğlu Döner ======================= Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laistahir/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@laistahir/ Email: laistahir@gmail.com Shot on Sony A7C II & DJI Osmo Pocket 3 Music I use from: https://share.epidemicsound.com/jeyxf7 Disclaimer: The links in our description are affiliate links, if you use them we will get a small commission at no extra cost to you.
