Istanbul


 Who knew this was the most  visited city?  I have been there, I remember we took a wonderful boat ride up the bosphorus strait that divides Europe and Asia.  We did pass by some luxury homes/palaces.  We visited the Haggia Sophia mosque pictured here.  My preference is always the scenic tours.

I never made it to Turkey, but there is a Turkish restaurant in Hawaii called Istanbul that I like.

I had now clue, Christine. Wow!

I guess because Europeans like to see it and other people in the Middle East so it's not that super surprising

Thanks Christine, I enjoy these interesting facts you post. Husband went to Istanbul in his navy days. His ship sailed up the Bosphorus Strait.
