It is time to go back to Istanbul. The city streets, which emptied after the military coup in 2016, are thronged with tourists again. In spite of the political situation, the city has managed to rediscover its colours and crowds.

And the Cihangir-Cukurcuma neighbourhoods where I have lived for the past 20 years are gradually coming to life. there are many houses for sale in Istanbul ,I’m pleased with these developments; it is gratifying to find that even in these dark days people from all over the world are still interested in you.

Istanbul houses weren’t as colourful in the Fifties as they are today. Back then no tourist would ever think of coming here. Cihangir was a predominantly Greek neighbourhood. In 1964, when Istanbul houses were driven out of the city in droves following the latest surge of tension between Greeks and Turks in Cyprus, the wide expanse of Cihangir Street was left to us kids to play football on. In the early Sixties, we lived in my mother’s fifth-floor apartments for sale in Turkey, and we used to light a stove to keep warm.
