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.
Inside the Blue Mosque
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!
