''On top of the city''

Falling in love...

...with Istanbul!This city amazes me each day!I cannot get enough of it!
Yesterday from a friend of mine we went around the city - we visited Dolmabahce Palace, Ortakoy and we climbed the Galata Tower!

The 3 hours in Dolmabahce Palace were very exciting in terms of learning new things about the Sultans' life, about the history of the SARAY and...but it was also a bit freezing at the end. The weather in Istanbul is almost spring weather and it is very nice to sit outside near the sea and drink a glass of turkish tea or coffee.

Ortakoy is one of my favourite places in Istanbul. It is crowded but at the same time there I can escape for everything and just enjoy the view of the Bosphorus and the first bridge...It is hard to find a calm and quite place in Istanbul but everyone has his own preferance. I guess Galata Tower is one of those places where you can feel ''on top of the city''...

I am continuously experiencing the mystery of Istanbul....
