The Bosphorus. Then Pamukkale.

The Bosphorus. I first remembered reading about the Bosphorus in some spy novel involving submarines. Having finally laid eyes on it, she did not disappoint.

On a clear sunny sky we set out on a cruise to the end of the Bosphorus. The last stop, Anadolu Kavagi was a fishing village where we got to enjoy some fresh seafood. A welcome I tell you after all the kebabs I've wolfed down.

With a somewhat heavy heart I left Istanbul Saturday night to Pamukkale, a 12 hour bus ride south. Pamukkale hosts the ruins of Hieropolis and travertines. I'll expound on its magnificence once I've visited on Monday.

In the meantime, enjoy this serving of the Bosphorus and Pamukkale.
