Istanbul The Last Port of Call

The Blue Mosque from the Ship
Hagia Sophia
We arrived in Istanbul at 3-00pm today, Wed 24th July, and what a sight it was as we approached the city on the ship.

We had booked a "Panoramic Tour" of Istanbul, which began at 4-00pm. The traffic is really bad here and that slowed the tour significantly, but  we managed to see quite a bit of the old town which as you can see from the photos is pretty special.

We have a couple more days in Istanbul so looking forward to having a good look around.

This is our last day of the cruise and what an amazing experience it has been. We disembark tomorrow morning and book into the hotel that we have organised in Istanbul, for a further two nights.
