Istanbul Constantinapolis - Beautiful and peaceful morning
Istanbul is a different city with a different atmosphere and weather. Visiting the historical sites where the eternal artifacts for the whole world are still preserved today as they were on the first day and listening to the stories about them is an experience I would like to recommend to everyone.
We send greetings to our friendly and helpful tour guide.

Like a dream - It was one of the most beautiful morning in my life. Since it was early in the morning, the places I visited seemed like a dream when I first saw them, but it didn't take long for me to realize that they were really extraordinary and I woke up. It was an impressive trip for us from the beginning to the end, and the comfortable and comfortable transportation was good for older people like us..
