Istanbul

Overview

Istanbul is one of the great cities on earth. Period. Few places on earth have witnessed more history than this sprawling metropolis on the Bosphorus. We'll cruise the golden horn, shop the grand bazarre, and check out a poor-man's Wall Street. We'll sample some Turkish delights, smoke a nardia, eat fish fresh off the boat, explore the harem in the Topkapi Palace, marvel at Byzantine domes, and lose ourselves in a sea of people in this vast and complex city.
