Night life in
Istanbul
Some people might think that because of the religion
they will not find certain kind of amusement on the city. That is
not truth. Those people are right when they think about religious
matter, but anyway those very religious people are not part of the
night life in Istanbul and they have their own kind of amusement that
we also talk about here (Tea gardens).
Islam forbids consumption of alcohol, but you can
find beer, wine and a special national alcoholic drink called Raki
(*same as Uzo for the Greek, Arak for the Arabs - it is a 35C alcohol,
which is deluded with water turning from transparent into a white
drink. If you enjoy alcohol try it ! ). |
I remind you Turkey is a laic country were religion
and government do not walk together like some other Arabic countries.
Turkish people enjoy eating, drinking and dancing. Turkish
cuisine is very rich and millennial. Over the weekend you will
see full bars and tea gardens with young and mature, women and man
enjoying their tea, coffee or also beer and Raki.
Nights can be long and enjoyable in Istanbul. You just
need to find out the right place that matches your wishes. Here we
will recommend some places where that you can visit at night in Istanbul:
