Hello everybody!!
We are from Greece and last November we visited Istanbul with a group by bus from Athens.The trip was a bit tiring but well worth it.What can we say about Istanbul?
FANTASTIC, and you cant understand it unless you vistit it. Everything was great the city the people, the music ,shoping etc.Of course for us was good also that most of the people were talking greek.Now we have to learn some turkish for our next visit(i hope this year).
If someone wants to go to istanbul i would advise him to stay definately more than one week (we only stayed 5 days),
to visit except Agia Sofia and Sultanahmet, Kum Kapi (fantastic), Istikal kaddeshi(?)for shopping, of he must go for a cruise at Bosporos, and of course Dolmabache palace.Top kapi is also great , and he must buy many ,many cds with turkish music(we bought 3 of Tarkan 2 of Mustafa Sandal, 1 Serdar Ortac, 1 Athena, right now we are listening to Yok Gerekcem).
What can i say after 4 months my mind is still there...
