🌟 🇹🇷🇺🇦ABOUT ME👇🏼
My name is Yuliia… One day I decided to follow my childhood dream…🥹
🏁 How it started:
In 2019, I dared to leave everything behind and follow my heart — not for a person, but for a city — because I have loved Istanbul passionately since childhood. I had been planning this move for years.
📌 I’ve explored 71 cities across Türkiye 🇹🇷 and visited more than 20 countries.
📌 I’m fascinated by history, archaeology, quantum physics, and quantum mechanics.
📌 Ancient history geek One of my favorite mysterious places is Mount Nemrut.
📌 From Odesa, Ukraine 🇺🇦
📌 Education: Philology & Computer Science.
📌 I started this blog back in 2019, but COVID put everything on hold. 😷So, I renewed it in 2024.
📌 Proud member of the Istanbul Creator Club, supported by Istanbul’s municipalities.

You’ve probably walked through the Egyptian Spice Bazaar without noticing what’s above your head. 🕌
Hidden above the shops at Istanbul’s historic Egyptian Spice Bazaar (Mısır Çarşısı) is a fascinating piece of Ottoman history: the Wooden Azan Pavilion (Ahşap Ezan Köşkü), located at Dua Meydanı.
Dating back to the bazaar’s Ottoman history (1597–1664), this small wooden balcony was used for the call to prayer.
But it had another important role: every morning, merchants gathered at this very spot to pray together before opening their shops and starting their working day.
The Egyptian Bazaar is actually made up of two interconnected bazaars, and this pavilion stands at the meeting point of their longer and shorter sections.
Next time you visit Mısır Çarşısı, look UP! History is hiding right above the shops.
Have you ever noticed this little Ottoman architectural gem? 👇
Save this for your next visit to Istanbul!

Did you know that roasted chestnuts are part of Istanbul’s food culture dating back centuries? 🌰🇹🇷
During the Ottoman Empire, chestnuts were more than just a winter street snack. They were used in rice pilafs, meat dishes, stuffed poultry and traditional desserts.
One particularly famous delicacy is Kestane Şekeri, candied chestnuts from Bursa, which remain a beloved Turkish sweet to this day.
And the tradition of roasting chestnuts on the streets of Istanbul is still alive!
Next time you visit Istanbul in winter, don’t forget to try them. ❤️
Have you ever tasted Turkish roasted chestnuts?

Must read!
Some gifts are truly unforgettable. 🤍📖
Palace in the Mist: The Ottomans – A Dynasty. A Family by Ayşe Gülnev Osmanoğlu is a historical novel that takes readers into Imperial Istanbul in 1906, exploring the world of the Ottoman palace, political intrigues and the final years of the empire.
What makes this book even more special is its author, who is a descendant of the Ottoman Imperial family, tracing her ancestry to Sultan Murad V and Sultan Mehmed V.
I feel incredibly honoured and deeply grateful to have received this beautiful book personally signed by Ayşe Sultan.
Dear Ayşe Sultan @aysegulnevsultan, @ayseosmanogluauthor, thank you so, so much for this meaningful and generous gift. I cannot express how happy I am to have it in my collection. It is truly a privilege to receive a piece of history directly from you. I will treasure it always! 🤍
