...Istanbul!

Flights and hotel are sorted (we are flying into Ataturk(?) airport and hotel is picking us up).

Any tips or recommendations? What do we HAVE to do?

Responses saying "are you crazy, Istanbul is " are fine but obviously I hope I won't get too many of those

TIA

Oooo - Istanbul one of my favourite cities...

Sancta Sophia
Blue Mosque
The Grand Bazaar
And the sultan's palace - which I can't remember the name of

For mosques etc be prepared to cover up and take a shawl to throw over and make you modest!

Thanks for the response. Glad you approve of our choice .

Will get googling your recommendations.

Noted re the shawl. Are arms/legs on show OK for the rest of the city?

I never get it when people say that

Ha ha CarGirl. we may also be TTC whilst we are there....

TBH however I think the lure of kebabs and Effes beer will be an even greater temptation to DH

Hmmm I wasn't just thinking about sex! No food shopping/cooking, leisurely mornings, no dc bedtimes, walking around places at the speed you want etc etc etc

I know my limits

No cleaning for 4 days - sounds like bliss
