5
nights Istanbul
Turkey
Apart from
being historically and architecturally spectacular, with a skyline
of mosques and minarets surrounded by water, Istanbul
is the only city in the world that lies on two continents. There's
plenty of sunshine, green and blue space, OK food, good beer,
terrible wine, great prices and lots of good Istanbul hotels.
The Turks are very friendly and not too pushy even when selling
a carpet. It's a lot safer than most European cities and the shopping
is sensational.
And by the way, Istanbul is not Turkey's capital - Ankara is.
