Turkey is exactly what you expect: opulent, historic, spiritual, always fascinating and ever colourful. In Istanbul, the dreams of abundance that emanated from the sultans’ palaces of old mingle with the aspirations of today’s generation, as the ancient blends seamlessly with the 21st century. As in centuries past, cultures from around the world cohabit harmoniously in this land were east meets west. Exotic delights, sacred mosques, colourful markets, stunning landscapes and a rich history await you on a journey you are not likely to forget!
By far one of the most beautiful in the world, this ancient city has gone by many names, with Byzantium and Constantinople...

Here is Rüstem Pasha Camii (Rustem Pasha’s Mosque). This mosque will stay forever in my mind; lost in the middle of the Bazaar, it is an island of silence and peacefulness. We were led to it by our travel guide and with the help of some locals, finally found the doorway and steps that went up to it. No sounds from the chaos underneath can be heard and after a day of harsh walking, it is a blessing to rest quietly within its walls for a few minutes.

Definitely a jaw dropping moment to see this natural wonder left by calcium deposits in the flowing water. Who knew Turkey was so full of these natural treasures?!

During our private tour with a local taxi driver, we visited these beautiful falls. He dropped us off above them and just told us, “go that way.” It was fun exploring the path to it, just like a bunch of kids!

We were cruising on the Bosphorus River, which separates the Asian side of Istanbul from the European side. This is a picture of Dolmabahçe Palace taken from the river.
