Six Sights for Saturday: Istanbul

Istanbul is the most highly populated city in Turkey and has the interesting quirk of being located in both Europe and Asia.  It is situated on the Bosphorus River, which connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara. Around 64% of the population lives in Europe (the Thracian side) and the remainder in Asia (on the Anatolian side). 

If you have a day or two to spend here, these are my must-see sights:

A Day In Cappadocia, Turkey

Before holidaying in Istanbul, I’d never heard of Cappadocia.  Luckily for me, I have a keen and inquisitive photographer for a partner, who thought it’d be the perfect day out.  He wasn’t wrong.  However, it was quite an expedition to get there from central Istanbul and involved a very early morning taxi, an internal flight from Sabiha Gokcen airport, two uncomfortable bus journeys, and a bit of walking in the intense Turkish sun before we could even start our adventure.
