In a week, we will be in Istanbul, not Constantinople. Turkey has been on our “next places to travel to” for well over 10 years but the timing was never right.
With our friend Carrie moving to Italy and having a birthday party on Mykonos, Greece, this is the perfect time to do the trip.
We also have non-stop flights from Denver to Istanbul, and back. So it felt natural.
We are doing 5 nights in Istanbul, and then 8 nights in and around Izmir. Then to Mykonos Greece for 5 nights and wrap it up with a few nights in Athens. Definitely excited about this trip!
