Amazingly beautiful and ancient city. This is a city where you can't turn a corner without running into a historical site.
You could easily spend a few weeks here and not see all the sites.
- Pros:History, Culture
- Cons:Aggressive Hawkers
- In a nutshell:Absolute must see site

Jim, fabulous and very comprehensive page about Istanbul here. I visited the Turkish metropolis at the beginning of December for a few days and I really enjoyed the trip. I must admit that we din't see as much as you did as it was mainly a football trip.
Thank you Jim for bringing back sweet memories about this beautiful city!
Thank you for visiting my pages but your tips are much better than mines and they looks endless...
Great pages !!! Istanbul hawkers more aggressive than in Egypt ??
You've tried turlu! Lovely pages. Thanks for your comments in my Istanbul page. Hope to see you here again.
