Istanbul, unlike any city in the world happens to straddle two continents… Europe and Asia. The European side of Istanbul could be confused with many major European cities, with its wide tree-lined avenues, if it weren’t for the call of the Imam, 5 times a day, which reminded you of where you were. The Asian side of Istanbul appeared more residential and certainly more conservative, with less glitz.  We were lucky enough to get a chance to spend a week in Istanbul to soak up the sights, smells and history of this incredible city. A week is hardly enough time, but we made the best of our time there.  Stay tuned for a post on Istanbul Eats!
