| Publisher Description: Istanbul is vibrant, exciting, historic, huge, noisy and chaotic A city that has to be visited and revisited to see only a portion of the "must sees." Three days, the amount of time tourists usually spend here, will only touch on its attractions. Prepare to be on the go from daybreak until late in the evening when Istanbul's famous sights are lit against the skyline. Walk feet down to the nubs through incredible neighborhoods, exotic sights wherever you look. And eat yourself into a Pistachio Baklava stupor... The Spice Bazaar (also called the "Egyptian Bazaar") sells spices and aphrodisiacs. Spend hours in Topkapi Palace Museum with its never-ending rooms and mind-blowing emeralds. Gawk at the magnificent mosiacs and marble pillars of Saint Sophia, once the greatest church in Christendom; the fantabulous Blue Mosque, even more beautiful at night. Get lost in the forerunner of all shopping malls - The Grand Bazaar built in the 1400s with 3,600 shops; and don't forget to buy a blue bead to ward off evil You, too, can take an Exotic Vacation. Such a trip can be had for less than taking the family to DisneyWorld. Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations with you known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy.
