[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3994120, member: 87200"]Sounds like a great trip. I have not been to Greece yet. I did, however, love my trip to Istanbul a couple of years back - favorite sites: Hippodrome with columns, Hagia Sophia and its mosaics and airiness. The 5th century columned cistern, Rumeli Hisar and Anadolu Hisar (two castles on either side of the Bosporus), and various other sites. The hostel where I stayed actually was built into the Theodosian walls, so that was kind of cool. Also enjoyed the cafes and Turkish coffee, and the hookah pipes on occasion. Managed to see the mehter, or Ottoman military band which accompanied the jannisaries into battle. [MEDIA=youtube]ZuRquMH961Q[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
