Istanbul

I am currently travelling across Turkey. My trip started in Istanbul. I've been to Istanbul six times before. However, this time I decided to spend a week there and explore the city in more detail. I've already seen the most important historic sites during my past visits. But Istanbul is so full of history that there is always something new to discover.
