This is the Istanbul gay guide by Nighttours.com. Istanbul is a very, very big city, with a population of over 12 million. The gay life in the city is probably the best way to experience Istanbul's highly cosmopolitan atmosphere and diverse cultural fabric that is stretched from East to West.
Thanks to the diligent work of gay rights organisations, a strong gay identity in the Western sense has been developing in Istanbul, but you can also have a taste of the older, traditional gay life of decadence. Once you start bar-hopping around Taksim you'll see that in some gay venues, trendy youngsters play cool and show off their buff bodies, while in others, burly and hairy Turkish men cruise around for something to stick it into.
Nighttours lists all gay clubs, gay bars, men saunas, hamams and gay parties in trendy gay Istanbul, so you know where to go and when in one of the most exotic cities in the world. Just Come Out and Party!
