Concierge.com's insider take:
This once shabby neighborhood around the landmark Galata Tower has undergone a remarkable transformation. A host of new boutiques have moved into its pretty cobbled backstreets, making Galata one of Istanbul's prime spots for alternative fashion. Start on Camekan Sokak (the street leading downhill from the tower's entrance), where you will find unique bags and belts at leather-goods store Lãl and statement accessories at Adem & Havva. For more upscale (and pricier) designs, turn on Serdar-ı Ekrem Sokak for stunning goth-inspired clothing and jewlry by Bahar Korçan. Keep going to reach Atelier 55 at the end of the street, a source for offbeat women's clothes as well as household bric-a-brac.—Vanessa Able
