Allstar Golden Crown Hotel Istanbul

... we chose, and we're quite happy with the decision. Most people go out at night on or around Istiklal, which is a mere two minute walk from our house... meaning we don't have to worry about paying for taxis to get home or walking in shady areas or anything like that. It's proven to be incredibly convenient, and the neighborhood itself is amazing, which makes us even happier.

Beyoglu is divided up into smaller neighborhoods, again, each with ...

“Oh," he sighed, stopped walking, and pointed down the raod we were approaching, "It’s just down the corner, next left.”

On the way to Eminonu, a man told me I’d dropped something – his heart – and I saw elaborate silver trays of tea being carried in shops. All of this had me convinced I was still – or rather, due to Israel’s incredibly ...

... favourite restaurant down by the water. It was a relaxing afternoon and we chatted away about what they have done in Istanbul and our trip. We parted at the restaurant, they going back to the room, and we went along to catch a ferry boat ride down the Bosporus to see all the fancy homes and castles. We should have walked through town as walking along the sea side was the long way around. I was happy to think we would be sitting for 1 ½ hours on the ...

... amp;quiet Sokoilu Mehmet Mosque SW of Blue Mosque. Then I met a guy looking for "Small Aya Sofia" so I went with him - but it's not magnificent. I strolled around the shore and then moved across the city to Galata bridge. It was really funny. I haven't had any war experience in Georgia and so I got it here: all boys and girls in all the residential quarters got plastic ball guns, ranging from pistols to AK-47s, and were fighting really heavily;). Since there's nothing more ...

... metaurbanes. Els venedors de dolços-encapsats ballant als cotxes, a l ultim peatge, posen el contrapunt de carnassa a l experiencia emocionant d entrar a Europa pel pont de Bogazici, de nit, un petit moment dolç-aeri que fa sentir-se orgullos de l esser huma. İstambul es el punt de trobada i la junta dels dos imperis; de manera natural es col loca al mig del nostre viatge, alla on surt un cami cap a l est i un altre que torna a casa. Fem una trobada ...

... Our week in Istanbul was over before we knew it and it was time to say our happy goodbyes to Helen's mother and stepfather. It was a happy goodbye because we are now on our way home and we know that we'll be seeing them in two months time. It was great flying into the UK because we weren't going back to the usual work routine but only to pick up our connecting flight to Italy. Rich and Hel are back on tour again and loving it!

... breads, various spreads, preserved fruits and nuts, some cheeses and some sliced deli meat. It wasn't bad, but just not what we're accustomed to. Their cheeses are almost always some form of goat cheese. So if you're not into strong cheese, best stick with the mini-croissant and chocolate spread (that was my favorite). FIRST DAY IN ISTANBUL Our first destination after breakfast was the famous Topaki Palace. Topaki Palace is the former residence of various Sultans ...

... or calling you pretty lady, it is kind of nice to know that after an overnight train and three months of beer, potatoes and sausages adding on the pounds, that there is a place where people find you attractive! We met back up with the others and then took the tram down to the waterfront and went on a cruise of the Bosporus Strait. Went out for dinner by the water later at a place with the biggest desert cart I had ever seen in a restaurant. We ...
