Istanbul, the only city in the world that spans two continents.
In September 2024, just after the silly-hot weather dissipated, I visited Istanbul for 4 days.
As with all of my trips I avoid any form of transportation, so walking everywhere to maximise photographic opportunities. I walked both sides of the Golden Horn but never made it over to Asia.
Some photos...

Holiday Inn Istanbul - Old City [map]​​​​​​​ - this hotel was out of the centre but close enough to walk to/from every day. Nice hotel, nice staff, nice room, terrible internet. [Room video]
