Travelling the world – Istanbul

Istanbul may not be one of the first locations that come to mind when you think of top locations to visit around the world.  Istanbul is where Europe and Asia meet and where you can expect to see breathtaking ancient architecture alongside modern food restaurants and an amazing nightlife atmosphere. The city’s mosques, bazaars, and Turkish baths will keep you entertained for years and ensure that you are not bored or disappointed for your entire holiday. Why not stroll the Galata Bridge and stop by the Miniaturk Park to see its tiny artefacts that are on display, this is an extraordinary experience that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Also the Grand Bazaar has thousands of shops to browse and barter with, while the Egyptian Bazaar is a fragrant trove of spices and fruits. This is a shoppers heaven and even if you are just window shopping it seems like a totally different way of life and one to be enjoyed by all. If you like people watching then these markets are great for that and if you have the gift of the gab you may be able to pick up a great bargain.
