Today we study the letter I for Ms Matlock’s class. I would like to give you an Impression of the city of Istanbul.
I made many photo’s but I took a few to make a collage.
As I said a very little impression.
If you want to see more of this beautiful city please google Istanbul, it is worth it. There is so much to tell and I am not good at that.
Istanbul at the Bosphorus.
Ayasofya, the most beautiful mosque with its four minarets.
Tourists in the Grand Bazaar an enormous , very famous shopping centre.
Down here there was this shop that sold so many spices and other goodies, I couldn’t get away from it. It was super. And that wonderful smell…….
And finally there is the Blue Mosque with its six minarets. It is the largest mosque of many many mosques in Istanbul. We couldn’t visit it at the time as it was prayer time.
Now this is just a very little Impression of what I saw that day. I definitely want to go back some day because it is a beautiful city but hope to have more time then.

Deze ziet er weer heel anders uit dan de vorige. dat kan ook niet anders in zo'n oosterse wereld, ik vind het altijd iets sprookjesachtigs hebben, dat komt goed naar voren.

You know, that is one country I've not been to, flew over it..haha
Looks so much like the Souks of Lebanon and Saudi... the food is wonderful in that area also.
Great Shots

You really do make it look like a beautiful pace to visit. Wonderful pictures.
When I saw the photo of the spice market I thought to myself, it must smell magnificent there. Beautiful I post.
The shot of the spices is wonderful. Can see why you wanted to linger. Beautiful city.
It's a beautiful and fascinating to see. You took fabulous photos!

Riet, what an excellent travel guide you are. Great photos!!
Oh, but you are wrong - YOU ARE VERY GOOD at making us want to visit the places you have been!
Hi Riet, thank you very much for choosing Istanbul for you "I" word. We have been looking go there and so trying to find ways to get there and back.
Most of the cruises come at noon and disembark early the next morning. Our daughter wants to just go there and stay a few days at a resort. That might be what we end up doing but for sure I would want to go into town quite a bit.
How did you get there and how long did you stay? How many days would be a good stay?
I'm at

Liefs Riet.
Hi again Riet!
Such a wonderful *I* post – superb pics which brought back great memories for me.
Have a great weekend,
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday
Je waant je echt in een andere wereld in Istanbul. Zo anders als Europa, leuk om de foto's te zien.
prachtige foto's zeg wat een sfeertje!
fijne dag
Yolanda
I loved Istanbul when we visited in 2010! Great photos!!
Dag Riet,
Werelds die foto's de drukte van alle dag, maar dan in een vakantiejasje!Leuk al die bijzondere winkeltjes, was je daar verlost van Hema's, Blokkers etc.? Of heeft zich dat ook naar daar uitgestrekt? Soms is een stad waar die zaken niet aanwezig zijn gewoon een verademing. Pas nog in een speelgoedwinkelgeweest de niet verbonden was een een keten. Zo'n eigenaar is dan zo vrij om leuke dingen in te kopen. Wellicht iets duurder, maar zoveel leuker en aparter.
Lieve groet, Marja
De warmte straalt van deze vrolijke en zonnige serie van Istanbul af, en dat kunnen we goed gebruiken, want de regen klettert hier vandaag weer regelmatig tegen de ruiten.
Enjoyed my glimpse of your Istanbul travel! The spice stand is spectacular...the architecture looks amazing...will indeed have to do some googling.
I love the photo of the bazaar! I could spend a whole day there....
Hi Riet,
You have taken some gorgeous photos of Istanbul. I think this would be a wonderful place to visit. I would also find myself in the spice market overtaken by the wonderful scents of the various spices and unable to leave without bringing some of them home with me! :)
Thanks so much for sharing your photos!
You have captured a beautiful city and made me really want to visit.
I'd love to go there...as a photographer, it holds great interest to me. Wonderful images you shared. Thanks!
You make me want to visit - especially that spice market!
Istanbul is certainly an incredible place!
Wow!
I'd love to visit it!
Thanks for linking.
A+
