Istanbul is huge and cosmopolitan city between two continents Europe and Asia.
Population is over 15 million people. They are very friendly,helpful and not so egoistic like a european.
My trip with two Slovak womens was taking only 4 days, but we visited most popular places.
Blue Mosque,Galata Tower, Bosphorus boat trip, Golden Horn, Taksim Square, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia.
Yes, I have only beautiful memories:-).....Jarmila
