The massive metropolis of Istanbul, formally know as Constantinople, which served as the capital both for the Byzantine and Ottoman empires, will fulfill anyone’s need for adventure. As we travel through the busy streets, we will come to realize that all the sites that warrant thorough inspection seem endless. There’s the beautiful Muslim art along the walls of the Blue Mosque, the remains of the Hippodrome where Roman and Byzantine chariot races took place, or the museum that’s been constructed within the famous church of St Sophia. Retreating from the busy surroundings, we take a boat cruise to Turquoise Cove, an inlet of Fethiye Bay, where we can enjoy the beautiful waters of the Sunken Baths of Cleopatra. Long hikes will take us through some beautiful rocky terrain with lush pine forests.
