Istanbul

This is the first part of Gate 1's 13 days Turkey tour. We started and ended our travel at this amazing city that embraces two continents. In the journey we took a few option tours offered by Gate 1 but skip most other option tours and went on to explore the Turkey ourselves. We love this arrangement because it gave us the choice between freedom and convenience.Our tour guide Mesut  was extremely knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. The food are good if you pick the right one that suit your taste at the buffet table. Hotels are genuine 4 stars. Schedule are excellent. But the best of all is the discovery of the rich background in Turkish culture and history which was well presented by Mesut.  Click the left lower 'Newer Blog' or menu on the right side 'From Istanbul to Kusadasi' to go to the next Turkey page, or the link here for photo album.             Turkey 1    Turkey 10
