"If the Earth were a single state, Istanbul would be its capital." - Napoleon Bonaparte
Istanbul is one of the world's top destinations - and for good reason. Capital of three empires, thousands of years of history, and a stunning setting, make it an exciting and exotic port of call. The secret to getting Istanbul done in a day? Istanbul is very easy to navigate on foot and by tram. It is also a very safe city. The good news is that all of the big sights (Hagia Sohpia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palce, Basillica Cistern, Arasta Bazaar) are in the same area. With just a day, it means you need to prioritize your list and sometimes substitute less crowded sites.
Pri cu dico labores officiis, odio principes complectitur ad sea. Sea id doctus forensibus, nec lorem vocent aliquam eu. Aliquid definitiones id cum, ad meliore perpetua referrentur sed. Quas suscipit ad mea verear vivendo tincidunt.
Just around the corner from Jennifer's Hamam, you'll find the Stanpoli Hotel - a small family run business. Have your breakfast on the terrace with the view of the Marmara. Walk just minutes to the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia and Topkapi Palace.
