Istanbul is one of the most amazing cities in the world!! Whether it’s picking up a bargain at the Grand Bazaar, being awestruck by the beauty of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia or stocking up on spices at the Egyptian Spice Market, the only city that spans two continents, is bound to leave an impression on even the most seasoned traveller.
