Here are some pics of my recent hols in Turkey. We started in Istanbul. Then we went to Canakale where we took a tour across the dardanelles to the Galipolli battlefields. Then we went to the south west to a friends apartment near Altinkum
First night and a needed drink on a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Bosphorous

Bosphorous again from a terrace in the Topkapi palace (where the Sultans lived and had a Harem with up to 5,000 girls-the most beautiful ones scouted from all over the Ottoman Empire.)

Another drink on another rooftop. This time with the Blue Mosque in the background.
