10-Day Mediterranean Cruise :: Turkey

Continued our journey from Greece to Turkey on our 10-day Mediterranean cruise 🇹🇷 It’s probably my least favorite country I’ve visited.

📍Kusadasi, Turkey 
📍İstanbul, Turkey 
📍Attractions: The Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar.

It is very crowded, with both locals and tourists. We were constantly approached by aggressive carpet, leather, jewelry sellers. The experience was rather overwhelming. On a positive note, Turkey is a country with a rich history, beautiful landscapes and vibrant culture. If you’re going to visit just one tourist attraction in Istanbul, I’d make it the Blue Mosque. It’s truly beautiful! Glad we got to see all the main big attractions of the city but honestly, Istanbul is not a destination I’d go back. Up next, Italy!
