Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and strategically located on the historic Silk Road.

| The Ortakoy Mosque is an historic mosque along the Bosphorus. I enjoyed a boat ride along the Bosphorus. It was very beautiful. |

| The Topkapi Palace is an interesting place to visit. A Museum full of history. The Topkapi Palace was the main residence of the sultan and his court. |
 |
| Haghia Sophia and the Topkapi Museum is also an interesting place to visit in this historic city. There is a lovely garden surrounding the area. What a fantastic place to visit on a Celebrity Cruise! |
