Join me as I arrive in Istanbul and start exploring a city full of history, culture, and incredible energy. In this first part of the trip, we visit Sultan Murad IV’s resting place, wander through the Grand Bazaar, learn a little about Turkish baths, and end the day at the beautiful Süleymaniye Mosque.

This is just the beginning, Cappadocia and Antalya are coming next. Thanks for following along!
