Turkish Delight!

Friday, August 31, 2012

After a hectic 3 month schedule in Africa, we were looking forward to a few leisurely days in Istanbul!

We treated ourselves to 4 nights in the GREAT boutique hotel - Peradays, located in the modern district of Beyoglu. Our hosts, Murat and Murat were wonderful, down to earth and recommended great local restaurants. 

We spent our days wandering the city, taking in a few local sights but mostly enjoyed strolling through the unique neighbourhoods and sampling the local restaurant fare.

The Spice Market






The Busy Streets of Beyoglu

Shopping in the Grand Bizarre

Typical Meals of Mezze and Turkish Wine/Beer
 
Beautiful Fresh Fruit and Seafood




We had a great time in Istanbul, it was just what the doctor ordered. Up next - New York City!
