Turkish Delights

I recently traveled to Istanbul Turkey in February and was pleasantly surprised by all the city had to offer. With a population of 17 million, Istanbul offers the best of Euro-Asia and is a four hour flight from 65 countries. It may not be a top travel choice for some, however, it is now one of the top 12 travel destinations. Istanbul is full of rich history, interesting culture and a pretty cool party scene. Must sees: Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Reina (one of the world's top night clubs), Turkish Baths and of course, the late night hookah and shawarma places. The shopping is awesome, the people are friendly and the food is to die for. Flights with Turkish Airlines are relatively cheap and the service was superb. There's something to be said for Istanbul - a bridge between old and new connecting Europe and Asia - my new favourite city!
