Today the weather has turned and it is cool and very, very windy in Santorini. We have been very lucky with the weather in Greece around 30+ everyday but it looks like it will be cooler in Turkey.
After breakfast we said farewell to Flora and ARC Houses and headed for the airport. Very busy and very inefficient system at the airport but finally we left the beautiful Greek Islands and headed for Athens. After a delay taking off and delay when we landed we finally made it to Istanbul, Turkey. I thought Barcelona was big until I saw this city, 15 million people live in Istanbul.
Very nice hotel with big rooms but the view is only the city streets and not what we have become used to in Greece. We met our tour leader Orhan and got the rundown for the week the headed for dinner in the hotel pizzeria.
Thought we would have an early night and catch-up on emails etc before we start our two week tour. Tomorrow we see a few sights of Istanbul before we head to Bursa once the capital city of the Ottoman Empire.
Until tomorrow J&N
