Monday to Sunday Istanbul presents a week of curated experiences in Istanbul. The book invites readers to follow carefully selected itineraries for each day of the week, perfectly
matched with the specific time of day. Then, leading local figures — famous chefs, artists, documentary makers, academics, designers, journalists, entrepreneurs and architects — share their insights into their hometown. Their stories highlight the real taste and soul of
the city.

The book focuses on seven days of immersion into the culture, history, art, design, gastronomy and entertainment life of Istanbul accompanied by beautiful photography: ‘The Imperial City’ on Monday; ‘Glamorous Bosphorus’ on Tuesday; ‘The Other (Asian) Side’ on Wednesday, ‘The Princes’ Islands’ on Thursday; ‘Art, Antiques and Activism in Beyoglu’ on Friday; ‘Inside the City’s Creative Heart: Nisantasi and Bomonti’ on Saturday; and ‘Toward the Black Sea’ on Sunday.

Monday to Sunday Istanbul highlights the dichotomies that make Istanbul an interesting megapolis: harmonious and incongruous, elegant and kitsch, crowded and peaceful, entertaining and spiritual; beautiful and yes, sometimes ugly. It combines the seemingly incompatible binaries of the East and West, Asia and Europe, Islam and Christendom.

For this book, editor and travel journalist Seda Domanic worked together with international travel writers who have lived in Istanbul long enough to appreciate its distinctive character; gifted photographers that capture its raw, yet aesthetic soul; and a creative direction team that strives to provide a fresh angle to an imperial city that is thousands of years old. The proposed experiences are curated in cooperation Sinan Sökmen, the founder of Istanbul Tour Studio and a trilingual professional guide who has specialized in Istanbul for over 15 years. The book reflects their joint affection for this megapolis; their passion for sharing discoveries and growing together as a community of like-minded travelers.
