Istanbul Has So Much To Offer
Visiting a world class museum, peering into a dimly lit mosque, wandering down secret alleyways or just sipping tea in a local café. The perfect way to delve into the layers of this ancient city is to walk from one to the next... All my suggested walks include fair amount of “steps”, but being reasonably fit and a pair of comfortable shoes will just do fine...
