Protest in Istiklal near Taksim against release of a policeman who shot a demonstrator, June 25

However I am not spending my evenings at Taksim. This is Giritli, an expensive and very good restaurant:

A glance at the Galata Tower is free:

Ordinary Turks bear silent witness in front of the Marmara hotel:
