Ramazan Bayram Kutlu Olsun! Iyi Bayramlar! Happy Bayram! ✨

It’s the end of Ramazan fasting today, in Istanbul and around the world. Many people will be celebrating with well-earned, delicious sweet treats - during daytime. In Türkiye the special 3 day period is known as Şeker Bayram [translating as Sugar/Sweet Holiday] and also involves visiting relatives.

Did you fast for Ramazan/Ramadan? Are you indulging today? 💫

If you're trying to persuade friends or family to join you for an Istanbul citybreak, this is a good general article to share about its appeal.

Such a high volume of visitors is surely a result of the new IST airport as international hub, so don't worry about the city itself being quite *that* busy!

It's not what you might expect.
