Besiktas is good for inexpensive shopping where you can find anything. I would rather shop there then the grand bazaar and gives a better picture of how everyday shopping is instead of the nasty tourist ghetto of Sultanahmet. Also Kadikoy is good to and check out the Salipazari on Tuesdays.

Okay goat lovers!!!

Just checked the fixtures but they only give the week number not specific dates. Got a feeling there will be an international week in there somewhere, which will shunt fixtures back a week.

Any way,as it stands:-

Week 9 (5,6,7 October potentially)

Fenerbahçe v Konyaspor
Galatasary v Ankaraspor

Week 10 (12,13,14 October potentially)

Kasımpaşa v Fenerbahçe (gets my vote!!! Kasımpaşa is round the back of Taksim)
Beşiktaş v Büyükşehir Bld Spor

So, Kev my old fruit, depends on what dates you are coming and whether they include a friday, saturday or sunday!! If its midweek, you may get lucky and get a european match.

Catch u soon, especially if you're popping into Datça this week!! But either way, I'm happy to go to a mtach and have a beer with you up in the Bul.
