Monday to Sunday Istanbul presents a week of curated experiences in Istanbul. The book invites readers to follow carefully selected itineraries for each day of the week, perfectly matched with the specific time of day. Then, leading local figures - famous chefs, artists, documentary makers, academics, designers, journalists, entrepreneurs and architects - share their insights into their hometown. Their stories bring forth the real taste and soul of the city.

The book focuses on seven days of immersion into the culture, history, art, design, gastronomy and entertainment life of Istanbul accompanied by beautiful photography: 'The Imperial City' on Monday; 'The Glamorous Bosphorus' on Tuesday; 'The Asian Side' on Wednesday, 'The Princes' Islands' on Thursday; 'Art, Antiques and Activism in Beyoglu' on Friday; 'Inside the City's Creative Heart: Nisantasi and Bomonti' on Saturday, and 'Toward the Black Sea' on Sunday.

For this book, editor and travel journalist Seda Domaniç worked together with international travel writers who have lived in Istanbul long enough to appreciate its distinctive character; gifted photographers that capture its raw, yet aesthetic soul; and a creative direction team that strives to provide a fresh angle to an imperial city that is thousands of years old. The proposed experiences are curated in cooperation with Domaniç's husband Sinan Sökmen, a trilingual professional guide who has specialized in Istanbul for over 15 years. The book reflects their joint affection for this megapolis; their passion for sharing discoveries and growing together as a community of like-minded travelers.
