About this tour
This session follows Moda's seafront promenade as the evening light changes, ending at a viewpoint facing the historic peninsula across the water. You see the small pier, the crowd settling on the grass and the sunset itself in the same session. Sibel, who lives nearby, explains why this stretch has become such a fixture of local evenings.
The call opens with a sound check along the promenade, then follows it toward the sunset viewpoint as the light drops. Sibel answers questions about the neighbourhood and sends a short note afterwards on the best times for the light.
This suits anyone who wants an evening sense of the Asian side rather than a monument-focused walk. It also pairs well with the Kadıköy market session nearby.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
