How do I get from the Asian side of Istanbul to the European side?

Q. Will be staying at the Istanbul Marriott Hotel Asia (on the Asian side of Istanbul). How do I get to to the Grand Bazaar (on the European side of Istanbul)? Train, bus, ferry -- I'm open to anything as long as it's fast (and hopefully reasonably priced)! Thanks! A. Most of the replies were a bit vague. Since Marriott in Istanbul is located in KozyataÄı, u better take seabus, it's like 5 mins from there by taxi, u may even walk to seabusses, wouldnt take more than 20 mins and its a beatiful view, u see Prince Islands while strolling. [Seabusses are the faster, modern, pricier (boat is 1.30 YTL where seabus has to be like 2 YTL not exactly sure how much it is) versions of traditional boats] www.ido.com.tr <u can see what they are like. From Marriot, u can also walk to BaÄdat Caddesi (Baghdat Avenue), it would take like 7-8 mins, from there take a DolmuÅ (Ford made MPV-van like vehicles which allow 7 or 8 ppl to travel, u cant get in a DolmuÅ and...

Which area in Istanbul considered a good place to start your sightseeing from?

Q. I need to choose a hotel in agood area to go sightseeing from it, is Taksim good area to stay there and start my sightseeing? A. Hi, Taksim is a good area to start. The place is very close to Bosphorus. I recommend a boat tour. You can reach to old Istanbul from Taksim easily. A must to see area. Around Taksim you can take a walk in Istiklal street. A street full of old Greek buildings, churches. Another choice can be a hotel in old Istanbul ( around Sultanahmet square.) You can reach most of the interesting , historical places easily, by walk. Have a nice trip. How long would it take to go from Sabiha Gokcen Airport to Sultanahmet ( Istanbul ) or too all the main sites? Q.
