When I first moved to Europe, my first “exotic” trip outside of London was to Istanbul. It is one of the most enchanting cities I’ve visited, with its beautiful mosques and towering minarets. I remembering staying at the Swissotel Istanbul and being spoiled with Turkish delights every single night with a view of the Bosphorus Bridge from my window.
Istanbul sits on the border of Europe and Asia – literally. Crossing the Bosphorus Strait finds you standing in the other continent. This means that the people, food, culture and language is a rich mixture of East and West. It is one of the most exotic places in the world.
