Türkiye - Istanbul

We visited Istanbul twice in the mid-1990's, but these photographs are from 2019 at the end of our trip through Central Asia. After our exploration of parts of the Silk Road, it seemed fitting to spend some time in this great city that marked its western end. Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman - an incredible historic and cultural legacy, and still a bustling, dynamic metropolis. (The historical centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site)
