Majestic Istanbul Turkey | Where East Meets West
Welcome to Istanbul Turkey - IST Airport is HUGE! Since we began planning our world travels, Istanbul has been near the top of the list. The fact that it is the only city in the world on TWO continents, is extremely fascinating to us. In addition, the food looked so good. It would be our first time visiting a primarily Muslim country, also very interesting to us. So there was no doubt, Istanbul was happening. After spending the summer (a full 3 months) in Krakow, Poland; we needed to get out of Schengen and ultimately our travel plans were taking us to Southeast Asia for the winter months (and then some). We arrived in Istanbul in late August and it was definitely still summer. We were very happy we booked accommodations with air-conditioning. Daytime highs were in the upper 80's, but the nights cooled down to the mid-60's. We stayed in Istanbul for approximately 2 months so we got to experience a little season change while there.
