+Stocked Kitchen (beverages, snacks, cooking essentials, and supplies for you to make traditional Turkish breakfast and pasta for light lunches and dinners)
+An adept and mostly charming guide who will ensure you are comfortable in the city and independently using public transportation by the end of Day 2 (a skill many travelers balk at, but one we consider integral to appreciating and immersing yourself in any foreign country). Istanbul public transport is absolutely fantastic, and your Istanbul Kart is good for ferries, subways, funiculars, and the light rail.
