@lettHello dear travel lovers. While wandering through Venice, a thought often crossed my mind. If you took almost any building here and dropped it to a neighboring city, it would immediately become a landmark. Yet here, it鈥檚 just another house. Yes, a bit eye-catching but that鈥檚 all. It鈥檚 not just the unique setting that makes Venice one of the world鈥檚 most beautiful cities, of course. The local architecture possesses a charm that impresses every tourist.

@ellie-maiHello my friends. Back in Istanbul again. Honestly missed this city like crazy. This time, I am traveling completely solo. If everything goes according to plan, I want to stay in Turkey for a longer period first enjoying Istanbul and then heading down to the southern coasts. Istanbul鈥檚 old airport Sabiha G枚k莽en, is on the Asian side. The new one is on the European side and it is really massive. Both of them are accessible by metro. You will require an Istanbulkart, which costs approximately 165 lira, a little more than 3 euros. I鈥檝e already visited Hagia Sophia and Istiklal, so I鈥檒l keep it short this time. And I wished to explore various places. First on my itinerary were the Fener and Balat neighborhoods. I visited magnificent mosques and churches that tourists hardly ever frequent, walked along the coast and crossed over to the Asian side of Istanbul, climbed up to one of Turkey's most extraordinary mosques to enjoy the stunning view and the legacy of the Magnificent century. I want to talk about all of these in this post series.

@onyfestThe houses are small, compact, made of dark stone. Heavy wooden doors, some painted in discreet shades of green or blue, others left in their natural color, already polished by time. The windows are modest, many with flower boxes that seem to heroically resist the sun. There is a curious harmony in the repetition of materials, but never a feeling of monotony.
The streets are narrow, slightly irregular. The cobblestones don't allow for much distraction. You have to watch where you're stepping. Perhaps that's the magic. It compels us to be there.
