In September 2014, while enroute to Romania, I stopped in Istanbul for a weekend with a group of friends. This amazing city is well worth visiting -- so much history and culture here! And the food, well...let's just say it would be worth coming to Turkey just for the food! I hope to return to Turkey someday and visit other places such as Cappadocia and the seven churches of Revelation.
