Istanbul, Take Four

Peter_Y, Jul 2023

This was our fourth visit to Istanbul, hence we had no interest in seeing the "traditional" sights once again. Zerrin was the perfect guide to assist given her intimate knowledge of the city's shops, restaurants, etc., and very accommodating style! Her knowledge of the local culture and customs made our experience especially enjoyable.
