Luxury Escapes shoot in Istanbul

Coordinating a video shoot in a bustling city like Istanbul is no small feat, but hosting the Luxury Escapes crew was a rewarding challenge. With iconic locations like Galata Tower, Sultanahmet Square, and the vibrant Istiklal Street on our itinerary, securing film permits was essential for a smooth production.

Fixer in Turkey team was there to ensure every detail was in place. From obtaining permits to arranging local transportation and coordinating with vendors for the famous "balik ekmek" scenes, it was a whirlwind of logistics. But seeing the city through the eyes of Gary Mehigan and Karen Martini, as they enthusiastically explored our city, made every effort worthwhile.

The beauty of Istanbul is its blend of old and new, and the Luxury Escapes team was keen to capture this essence. From historic mosques to bustling bazaars, the city's diverse offerings provided a rich backdrop for the filming. As a local, it was a pleasure to witness their genuine appreciation for Istanbul's unique charm.
The final film, I'm sure, will be a testament to the hard work and collaboration of everyone involved. Stay tuned for the Luxury Escapes episode featuring our beautiful city!
