A Brief Introduction to Istanbul
- •
- Turkey
Our final destination in our two-month journey through Europe was Istanbul. Unfortunately, our stay was limited to one day only, far too little time to explore the only city in the world that is located in two continents. Yet, we managed to see some of the iconic landmarks of the cultural capital of Turkey.
