Great city - bus journey was fine, with a good Metro bus but border quite a hassle with lengthy bag checks etc. Bus station seemed huge.
Stayed in old city, people friendly, mosques fabulous (if noisy in the morning!), hostel very good. We went our to a traditional place with lots of Ouzo on one night. Grand bazzar was ok, joss went twice.
Took ferry to Asian side, then to Taksim area for a Burger King, walk to Galeta Tower.
One of the most impressive cities I've been too.
