Living here in Turkey we have been fortunate to visit Istanbul on a number of occasion. This has allowed us to explore the less well-know sites and districts, all offering different glimpses into this exciting city, well away from the usual tourist areas. -------------------- "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" Lao-tzy, Chinese Philosopher (604 - 531 BC)
