We went to Instanbul twice. The first time for a week just the two of us, the last time for a weekend with our parents and children. We were married 25 years and thought that was a good opportunity to give away a little trip abroad. It was especially exciting for our parents, because they didn't fly before. On both occasions we came to the conclusion that Istanbul is a very nice place to spent some time. Not only the many beautiful buildings like Aya Sophia and the Blue Mosque, but also the different communities make the city a melting pot of cultures. We saw young girls in a short skirt talking with young girls with a black veil. It was a pleasure to show our guests this special city.
