I am passionate about history, my favourite book, The Historian covers a great deal of Istanbul and I have wanted to travel here for many years. The reason I have chosen 'during winter', is it often snows in Istanbul during Dec / Jan, and I love snow.

The joining of the East and West
Constantinople once the eastern capital of the Roman empire. It's where the east meets the west, entwining many cultures into a dizzying swirl of the exotic and beautiful, enticing all senses, and embodying worldliness. It has be one of most fascinating places here on earth. But that's just my humble opinion.
