🗨️ Message from Mert:

"Hey! Istanbul isn’t just about history and mosques—it’s also about stories told over music, conversations on rooftop terraces, and the energy that comes out after dark. I love showing people the Istanbul I live in—the one with laughter in side streets, DJs spinning in underground basements, and the best late-night food you’ve ever had. If you’re open to explore, I’ll take you where the locals go, and where the night never really ends."
