Merhaba Istanbul!
Istanbul, one of the world's great cities, was going to be our home for the next 91 days. Minarets, mosques, harems, hamams, kebab, coffee, Turkish delights, towers, castles, islands, whirling dervishes, Greeks and Ottomans, hills, ferries, markets and music... it's enough to make the experience-hungry traveler delirious. We knew we'd have to hit the ground running, because there was going to be a lot to do.
