Good Tourist

Dress - Accessorize, Bag - Foley & Corinna, Wedges - Humanic, Sunnies - Ray Ban

Finally, on the last day of our trip we managed to snap out of our livin' like the locals attitude and set sail to visit all the famous sights of Istanbul. The history, the architecture and the art in Turkey is simply breathtaking.

Topkapi Palace: it was the official residence of the Ottoman sultans for over 400 years.  The oldest and biggest palace on Earth these days.... it's treasury and harem are very well worth visiting.





 Hagia Sofia:



Blue Mosque:


That's ALL! We're finished with my Istancool diaries! ;) I hope you liked to have a glimpse at this incredible city through my eyes and I've managed to convince you to put it on your travel list. Go see it for yourself! ;)
