Thread: Going to Istanbul.

I am going to Istanbul for a few days.

Anyone been there, what's it like?

What belly dance items should i look out for, & where to buy them?

Also anyone know any good places to watch belly dance there?

Thanks, would appreciate any information.

Great, thanks, didn't think of looking at other threads first.

Will let you know if i want to find out anything else.

Thanks.

Thanks again, have looked at some other threads.

Can't wait to go now.

Let's hope i take enough money with me.

1 thing, i don't suppose you know roughly what prices to expect for reasonable costumes, don't want to pay too much?

Thanks.

all i have to say is TRY THE PASTRY SHOPS on Istiklal st. yumyummmm

Depends on what you call a "reasonable costume" :-)

Expect to pay at least 400 € for a nice professional costume. 600 € if you want a lot of glitter.
