Istanbul
Tolsti is reaching exhaustion point so has booked 5 nights in the Renaissance Istanbul.
Trouble is now he's done that and planned to sleep for 2 days.. what is he going to do for the other three. Apart from the Blue Mosque and a good Hamman... do any of you jet setters have any original interesting suggestions? I don't suffer Tourists gladly so prefer more authentic local ideas. All sugestions gratefully rec'd...... Oh, and by the way I am flying Austrian via Vienna... comments? |
Tolsti, odd, reading this as I come in from a nightstop IST! :)
You could have picked worse; Istanbul is wonderful. This place is my personal all time favourite, even if it's touristy. It's impressive, gorgeous, unusual, thought provoking, historical and just bl##dy amazing! Have a great time in Istanbul. PS: Local people very pleasant. Easy talkers, often kind hearted and willing to share thir love of the city with foreigners. |
My parents went there in Oct 2001, so it was apparently very nice and un-touristy due to being a Muslim country so soon after Sept 11th.
Their top tips: 1. Blue Mosque 2. Agya (sp) Sofia 3. Grand Baazzar 4. Enjoy the local food. Sorry about the poor spelling. Jordan |
Spend a day at the Topkapi Palace (where the Sultan used to live)
Take the ferry across the Bosphorus. Great place Istanbul, friendly people lots of history, hope you have fun.:O |
