The story
In Kadıköy market there is a shop that has never opened. A key was left with the neighbour, the neighbour left for Berlin, and the key has been changing hands ever since. Your route follows it across the Bosphorus and back.
This one involves a ferry, so bring a travel card and a little patience. The views are the point, the key is the excuse.
