Beautiful picture!! We have only been to Istanbul once, on our way back to the UK last October and we thoroughly enjoyed it. What a fantastic place, you could spend a month there and still not see everything! We stayed for 3 nights at The Orient Express Hotel and although it was not the plushest hotel we've ever stayed at I've got to say that it has got to be the friendliest and most accommodating!! The staff were wonderful and so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We ate twice in the rooftop restaurant which overlooked the Bosphorus, the food was fantastic and the views were amazing, I would definitely recommend a stay here, you won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back!!
