With over 13 million people, Istanbul is Turkey's largest city. It stradles two continents, Europe and Asia, split by the Bosphorus Strait. I stayed in Sultanahment, the old town section of Istanbul. That's where the Grand Bazaar, Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Archeological Museum, Basilica Cistern and the Spice Market are located. If you can afford it, stay at the AND Hotel, centrally located and very nice!
