Some call the Tarlabaşı a slum neighborhood and Turkish PM wanted to level this picturesque gypsy area with the ground. But its vibe is so authentic and warm – bright clothes on the ropes between old "khan" houses in the narrow streets, poorly dressed kids madly chasing the ball and shouting, big ladies smoking or drinking their tea on almost falling apart balconies – reminds of a little Cuba. The place is not safe at night and be careful with taking pictures – aliens with cameras are not always welcome.
