True Delights of Istanbul (2012)

During our first visit to Istanbul (pictures: https://pbase.com/ellisonphotography/istanbul ) we instantly fell in love with the place.
The combination of west and east, of old and new, is simply mesmerising.
We had to return asap, and here are the pictures of our second visit.

Again we had a fabulous time, but there is still so much that we have not seen and done yet that we will surely return again in a not too distant future!
