[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Istanbul. I had heard many things, but it is probably my favorite city in the world. Vibrant, and surprisingly accessible. [/quote]
on my bucket list[/quote]

My dad taught Greek so he used to take students to Greece fairly often. He loves it there but when he went with my mom to Istanbul---they absolutely lost their minds how much they love it.[/quote]

I went there twice about 20+ years ago and though I loved the historical aspects of it, I was there in winter and at the time they were burning coal and I was breathing it every day. My face would be filthy when I cleaned it at night. And there was a lot of anti-American and anti-female verbal harassment on the streets at the time. Sounds like it's gotten a lot better. Maybe I need to go back.[/quote]

I was there 20 years ago. Loved the history but did not love the verbal harassment on the streets. As a young woman it was constant and totally ruined the trip. Unless you actively enjoy being catcalled every 5 minutes and stared at and being in all-male environments, I’d skip it.[/quote]
