Hunting for Pirate Treasure in Curacao

Dushi: Sweet, good, pleasant, and awesome, much like the beaches of Curacao

Wherever you go in Istanbul, you’ll find cats playing, snoozing, and thriving. Here are some of our favorite places to meet the city’s cutest citizens:

  • The Maçka Art Park, known as the Cat Park: Nişantaşı, Harbiye, 34367 Şişli/İstanbul. From Swissôtel The Bosphorus, walk northwest about 20 minutes on Bayıldım Cd. Grab a coffee so you can sit, sip, and meet Istanbul’s cutest residents. For younger travelers, you’ll pass a playground as you make your way to the cat park area. Google Maps / Website

  • Cat Museum Istanbul: Free entry, donations recommended. Make it your first stop of the morning and grab a cup of coffee from their cafe, where half the proceeds go to a local cat charity. Plan for about 15-30 minutes. Google Maps / Website

  • Cat castles: Scattered throughout the city. DM us your hotel and we’ll find one nearby for you!
