I’d highly recommend the Besiktas stadium tour, it’s a very easy pleasant 15 min walk from Taksim (one windy road), it’s all downhill on the way & the setting of the stadium is beautiful, located by the sea, it’s a great view as your walking down, cosy around £5 also, lovely little stadium, I did Galatasaray’s yesterday also, that’s 5 stops on metro from Taksim

Cheers fella. Plan on going to Besiktas tomorrow to do a tour. Apparently the area near to the ground is full of nice bars etc so thinking we'll spend a few hours around there.
