A Different Slant,
This review is from: Lonely Planet Six Degrees Series 3: Istanbul (DVD)
Even though so much of what is accessible to the guide depended on her relationship to people or people who knew interesting people, the DVD was very interesting in terms of upper crust Instanbul and various "in" spots (which could be visited by any tourist, some a bit pricey). If you're not one of the vegan groupie hiker-hostel types, but prefer good hotels, food and your own pursuits, I highly recommend this as informative and entertaining.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Six Degrees Series 3: Istanbul (DVD)
If you can ignore the irritating 'ive grown up as an expat child' presenter this dvd offers a varied and glamourous overview of modern day cosmopolitan istanbul....from a cashed up perspective. The absence perhaps of exposing the contrasting reality of everyday extreme poverty in Istanbul is perhaps a bit misguiding but hey, dont let that put you off purchasing this DVD if you are thinking of visiting istanbul ...most taxi drivers in my experience do not speak english .. nor dance like loonies....and having relocated to istanbul recently as a single western female I would not suggest a night out with the boys drinking arac is a good or safe idea as innocently purveyed in this DVD ....360 restaurant is a nice venue but not to eat so I've heard - Cevahir shopping mall is horrendously spectacular and claustraphobic at the same time...however I was impressed with the emergency services/earthquake rescue drill as apparently the next major one is due anytime soon! Oh and fine turkish wine Doluca isnt.....

Well made, fun, good photography, and Asha Gill, the narrator, is charming. Alas while the video is good, the disc is faulty, it keeps stopping here and there. Or it might have been my own bum luck. Recommended.
