Istanbul this week

Posted in Uncategorized - June 26, 2013 - 0 Comment

Little time to write, as I am spending full days with Syrians, but here is my brief photographic essay on Istanbul this week:

Protest in Istiklal near Taksim against release of a policeman who shot a demonstrator, June 25

However I am not spending my evenings at Taksim. This is Giritli, an expensive and very good restaurant:

Really good, very expensive.

A glance at the Galata Tower is free:

Postscript: Ironically, only the police are enjoying Gezi park these days:

Ordinary Turks bear silent witness in front of the Marmara hotel:
