Art-market Ortikoy. Part1: cats

We spent several days in Istambul and have got many great memories and good photoes.
Ortikoy is a place in Istambul where the artists sell their pictures and hand-made. It's a nice place for a walk where you can eat local sweets and stare at the shops.
But the first thing to is the cats. Istambul is full of big fat cats, Ortikoy is crowded by them.
some more...
and more...
they are everywhere
sunny jinger cat
People feed them with special potato dish called 'Kumpur'
The cats also have water
At the same time there was a cat-fest with this huge figures
Cats eat here because people feed them. What do the people eat? First of all,  they eat Kumpur - baked potato cut into two pieces and hidden under cut olives, corn, meat, souce and other food. And this is a shop selling local sweet vafels with strawberries, banana, chocolate and cream...
And tea, of course. Everybody drinks tea in Turkey. People make it right on the street, like that
The place is full of hand-made and next post will be about that.
