I recently went to Istanbul. I had a great time there. Great food (fresh fish like seabass everywhere), lovely people and amazing historical sites.
Many of the best sites are in the old town. Both the Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque are within a stones throw from one another, and the Topkapi palace close too. Check out the river boat trips down the Bosphorus and all around the Golden horn. It certainly is a beautiful city full of culture.
As for day trip you can try Cappadocia. Google it. |
