Welcome to Istanbul !

Hello everybody !

 

I arrived last night in Istanbul, the Ottoman capital. My plane landed at 10:30 pm and after that, I was really happy to find my bed. My room is located in Sultanahmet district, so it is perfect to discover Istanbul.

This morning, after my breakfast, I went in the Topkapi palace and it is really large and beautiful. I saw the blue mosque beside Saint Sophia.

I could taste the famous turkish kebab in district of the bazaars and, of course......Loukoums ! It is a typical turkish candy.

Istanbul is city with 1001 colours. In its bazaars, I could saw spices, clothing, loukoums, jewerly and again so much things magnificent with a real know-how.

This afternoon, I did a walk on the banks of the Bosphore and Galata.

So a full day in this city !

Istanbul, I'm leaving you tomorrow but see you soon !

    Hello,
    I'd like to travel in Europe next summer hollidays. I'd like to have your advice. What country or city should I visit? I have visited Madrid on October holiday, I enjoyed it a lot and I would like to continue to travel. How much will it cost? (for Madrid I paided 350 euros for 4 days).

    I visited many countries in Europe, all beautiful but also very different. So for Istanbul, if you want to discover a religious heritage, it's a perfect place !
