We did an organised tour of turkey which included a one day tour of Istanbul. At least three days is needed.The food, the people, the place and ahhhh! the apple tea.
We will return.
The location in Sultanahmet was great...walking distance to the markets, the Blue mosque and plenty of restaurants with roof-top dining.
