"We heard the sound (of Saturday's suicide bomb), we saw the helicopters flying over us. We were having breakfast at that moment, but we did not get scared. Everything was normal, not much chaos. It was calm. Of course there were no taxis or cars. They closed Taksim Square, but we don't plan to leave the country because of this. We feel safe."

"It happened while we were having breakfast. Then I came outside and the receptionist told me to go in the hotel. I heard the helicopters, but at that time did not know why they were flying over. I did not hear the explosion. They (family) called me from Greece and told me that explosion occurred. I told them we are safe. We feel safe. I will enjoy my trip and go to the Grand Bazaar."
Some Greek tourists in Istanbul say they feel safe and don't intend to leave after a suicide attacker detonated a bomb on the city's main shopping street on Saturday.
Istanbul's governor said five people were killed in the attack, while 36 people were reportedly wounded, including 12 foreign nationals.
Police swiftly sealed off the area as ambulances and a forensic team rushed to the scene.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Saturday's attack.
