Jan, so happy you and Fred made it safely to Istanbul. We're scheduled to visit for the first time in April.
A couple questions please....Have you been to Istnabul before? I ask because from what I've been reading on various sites most people recommend staying in the Sultanahmet area to see the sites for a 1st time visitor. I notice that Cirigan Palace is in Kempinski area and curious why you picked this area. Any feedback to a complete novice is appreciated.
Continue having a great time!
