Different ways of experiencing Istanbul from the Bosphorus

A KORU selection that reads city culture, gastronomy and life around the Bosphorus through a quieter route of discovery.

Different ways of experiencing Istanbul from the Bosphorus

Reading the city from the water’s edge

Istanbul is often told through its speed. For KORU, the city can also be read at a quieter rhythm, from the distance of the Bosphorus.

This selection does not treat the destination as a list. It treats it as a passage between water, street and table.

Choosing the tempo of the day

Early morning light, a museum in the afternoon, a quieter table in the evening: the city’s layers can stand side by side at this tempo.
