Katgoesonholiday Posted August 4, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I have posted a review of our day in Istanbul as part of a larger full trip review. The relevant portion starts at post #158 near the bottom of the page here: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2074829&page=8 I really appreciated all the help and advice that people from this forum gave me as I prepared for our trip and we had a truly wonderful magical day in the exotic and deeply historical city! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katgoesonholiday Posted August 4, 2014 Author #2 Share Posted August 4, 2014 There is also some helpful information on obtaining the 72 hr Muzee card that enables you to skip many of the queues. I'm happy to answer any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted August 4, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Nice review! You can see why I was so unhappy the first time I visited Istanbul and took a ship tour that didn't allow us to get to the 2nd floor of Haghia Sophia -- it's the best part!! I also join with you in telling others that the main sites are all very close together. I don't think you realize that unless you actually walk it. When they are loading you on and off buses and driving around areas due to pedestrian zones, things seem farther away than they really are.

maryann ns Posted August 4, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 4, 2014 You did well to see and do all you did in one day. I am so glad we went in November. We did not need to get the pass as there were no crowds and it was perfect weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
