I am not chasing any guide book recommendations. I am discovering, and that is what I am here for. As a blogger it is what you see, and what you capture, and what you think is going to be important to your reader &#8211; and this story is all about that. This story is about fishing lines off the Galata Bridge over the Bosphorus or Istanbul Strait, if you so please. The way to discover a city is to go where the locals go, try to move as quickly away from purely touristy stuff, and that is what got me here. I was on this hop-on-hop-off bus making mental notes of what all I haven&#8217;t been told about Istanbul and this was the starting point. Nobody prepared me for this story and it just happened. I will be adding to it as I get more time to work on it, and till then it is a work in progress.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3311\" style=\"width: 613px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/travel-tips\/fishing-off-the-galata-bridge-istanbul\/attachment\/day-1-at-turkey-703\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3311\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3311\" class=\"size-my-custom-thumb wp-image-3311 \" title=\"Fishing lines for rent at Galata Bridge\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/Day-1-at-Turkey-703-603x403.jpg\" alt=\"Fishing lines for rent at Galata Bridge\" width=\"603\" height=\"403\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It is easy to be a fisherman here.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It looks like everyone can be a fisherman out here; buy a few things, rent out a few others, and you are done.
