East meets West!
A fabulous place to visit, and every time you can see something new.
I love staying in the old city, and just walking around all day.
Can't wait to go back!

I was there a couple years ago for a conference. Incredible place. We stayed at what once was a Sultan's palace along the Bosphorus river. I forget the name of the place.

My only regret was I didn't extend my stay overseas and pop over to Greece as well.

Glad you enjoyed it. Share photos please!

Loved my visits there. I have got to go several times for work. Fantastic City. I am headed to Jerusalem this month, will have a free day there. Very excited. Here are two of my favorite pics from Constantinople.
