Before we left for Turkey, I knew carpets and Turkish Delight would be popular commodities we’d find in Istanbul.

Taner, one of the front desk staff at our hotel, was loaded with great tips. The one I liked best was when he suggested we check out the Basilica Cistern and look for Medusa. I’m a huge Greek and Roman mythology fan. Medusa immediately piqued my interest. We got directionsContinue Reading
