The jaw-dropping vistas of Istanbul, with minarets as far as the eye can see, the iconic golden horn, Ayasofya, and the Blue Mosque, sitting regally atop a hill; the weaving ferries and massive cargo ships that populate the Bosporus Strait; their colourful, maize-like bazaars, with all sorts of souvenirs you will want to take home with you. Venture outside of Istanbul and you will encounter sparkling blue seas, golden beaches, emerald green valleys and snowy mountains. Turkey is a visual feast, from the vivid natural wonders to the slightly faded ancient wonders, and the bright red flags, which decorate every single corner.
