Could you find a set of Russian churches hiding on the rooftops? Have you visited the wooden house of a Turkish artist in the Beyazıt back streets? And would you know where to photograph a lamppost in the shape of a giraffe? The answer to these and hundreds of other questions can be found in Istanbul The Ultimate Guide by Saffet Emre Tonguç and Pat Yale, the most up-to-date and lavishly illustrated guide to the city on the market. Istanbul The Ultimate Guide covers not just the well-known tourist sites such as the Topkapı Palace and Blue Mosque, but also the more off-the-beaten-track areas of Istanbul such as Yeniköy and Caddebostan that rarely feature in other books. It was a voyage of discovery for both the authors. Saffet introduced Pat to the hidden treasures of the Bosphorus suburbs, while she introduced him to Ağva and Polonezköy. Together they explored Cerrahpasa, the Kadınlar Pazarı and the back streets of Balat.
