Something for Everyone, full of energy and endless things to do. People in Istanbul are very welcoming and friendly.Very Easy to find a common language , even if you do not understand each Other :), They will always help you and prompt the way if you get lost. Visit to Istanbul Grand Bazaar (the most visited place in the world. I had a lot of impressions ... in 40 degree heat go to the Massive Market with all sorts of Goods where it is possible to find anything/everything, WAS crazy and everyone trying to flog you something.
