Sightseeing in Istanbul is an absolute
delight . Take a ferry across the Bosphorous and you will experience
one of the real wonders of the world. Visit the elegant Blue Mosque
with its six minarets , its domes and its thousands of beautiful ceramic
tiles , all hand-placed by skilled craftsmen . Then There is the Topkapi
Palace, seat of the Ottoman Sultans from the 15th to the 19th century
, which is now museum housing thousends of priceless treasures. Visitors
can explore the Palace which has stunning views of the Bosphorous.
Istanbul is unique. In no other city in the world do you hear the
same exciting and mysterious sounds, do you see magnificent sights
and breathe in the same intoxicating atmosphere of Asia meeting Europe.
Eating out is an experience not to be missed. There is a wide variety
of local bars and restaurants and , along the banks of Bosphorous,
there is an array of value for money eating places , all with tempting
aromas and great atmosphere. Try a selection of meze a dozen or so
dishes of local specialities which you and you table companions pick
at instead of having set main courses. It is a great way to enjoy
food. And always washed down with raki the Turkish traditional drink.
