Topkapi
Istanbul, Turkey
05/20/07
Topkapi Palace was completed in 1465 by Mehmet II, the conquerer of Constantinople. Sultan Mecit I abandoned Topkapi in 1853 in favor of Dolmabahce Palace. It opened to the public as a museum in 1927. Structures with names like the Harem, the Courtyard of the Black Eunucks, the Imperial Hall, and the Treasury it's easy to see why this is a favorite of tourists. Konyali Restaurant is located on the premises with a killer view of the Bosphorus.

No trip to Istanbul would be complete without some Turkish delight and places like Cho Delight will not disappoint. But beware, there might be a dozen pieces in those boxes.

Arnavutköy, Turkey

If you get a chance to take a cruise of the Bosphorus between Boğaziçi Köprüsü (Bosphorus Bridge) and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Köprüsü (Bridge) don't pass it up. There are picturesque fishing villages, palaces, mosques, forts, and yali (villas) for your eyes to behold.

John Linton has been a member since 17 April 2008 and goes by ride0583.
Currently in sufferable.
I am a retired secondary teacher (32 years) who spent his childhood developing his skills as a military brat while the family moved from one location to another. I attended Gorham State College to avoid the draft, somehow graduated with a teaching degree in the Social Studies, was hired by the Westerly School Department in 1970, and have lived in Westerly, RI ever since. When people ask me what I do now I tell them "Nothing," but I do dabble in photography and travel whenever I can.
