I’m off to Atlanta, USA and have almost 48 hours with me. My next flight to Atlanta is from the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport. I’m wondering about bringing these two days to use. I was hoping you could suggest to me some really good and productive things to do on the Asian side of Turkey.

You can’t be more wrong if you’re wondering 48 hours would be less to explore the Asian side of Turkey. Turkey is a lively place with so many good options to explore. I was pondering where, to begin with? Here is a list.
- Kuzguncuk
The Kuzguncuk is an origination point of many cultures and beliefs. Ideal for photoshoots, these alleys portray a remarkable history of Orthodoxes and Armenian Churches. Moreover, the cafe here serves food to die for. A place you should visit if you are on the Eastern side of Turkey for 48 hours.
- Buyuk Camlica
The Buyuk Camlica is known as the highest point in Istanbul. With an unbelievably beautiful scenic view, this place defines the word serene. Grab a cup of cappuccino with cake or cookies of your choice, and enjoy the view while you still can.
- Moda
Known as one of the quirkiest museums of Istanbul, this place pays tribute to a very popular Turkish rockstar.
- Hidiv Kasri
This palace is located in the centre of a park and has many unique cafes and restaurants. Even if you are short on time, this place is a must-visit if you are on the Eastern side of Turkey.
- Terrace of Tapasuma
The Terrace of Tapasuma is a breathtaking sight with exceptional food. The lights of the Bosporus bridge changes from pink to yellow and many other colours from pink to yellow and many different colours. This restaurant is located on the grounds of Sumahan on the water hotel.
