Istanbul, Turkey. The only city in the world that resides on two continents- both Europe and Asia.
You have probably heard of the Hagia Sophia. Now a museum, this beautiful building began as an Orthodox church and was later repurposed as a mosque.
There is also the stately Blue Mosque. Dating from the 17th century, this mosque is still in use today.
The Rumeli Fortress, dating back to the 15th century is breathtaking with its views over the water. Its amphitheater is used during the summer for performances.
I would definitely have to stop by a Turkish bath and enjoy the luxury of a massage!
And how could I not enjoy a doner kebab in the country of its origin?
Istanbul is a stunning city full of ancient treasures, and I'm sure good food. Maybe some day I will see for myself!
Have you been to Turkey? What did you think?
