Istanbul
Istanbul… Who knows how many songs have been composed, how many novels been written for this city? How many emperors, empires it has witnessed? Or how many civilizations it embraced so far? Imagine all the great scholars, artists, lovers that had trodden its roads throughout its history…
You see, neither the days are enough to visit thoroughly this great city that is historically so rich, nor the lines are enough to tell about it. However, those who come see Istanbul, even for a brief visit, cannot help but fall under its spell.
I have brought together all the things you should do, taste and visit at this magical destination.
Enjoy!
“If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.”
–Alphonse de Lamartine
“Bulgaria is a fascinating, beautiful, difficult country, and I fell in love with it.”
says Garth Greenwell, an American poet and author. Indeed, Bulgaria, at first sight, may seem a bit difficult to get used to; offish, so to speak. However, after a little while, you get to know it and it becomes a destination that you will miss visiting.
Greece
What Sir Fermor says may be one of the most accurate, closest descriptions of how Greece makes a traveler feel like. While enjoying today’s version of her magical beauty, you can still feel the weight of all that legacy of the past nebulously wrapping around you.
Ahh… I miss you, Greece.
“Greece – The feeling of being lost in time and geography with months and years hazily sparkling ahead in a prospect of unconjecturable magic.” –Patrick Leigh Fermor

“But Portugal has a peaceful feel about it. I sit on the terrace overlooking the vineyard there and I feel cut off from the world. You need that sort of thing.”
– Cliff Richard
Serbia
Stunning castles, enchanting landscapes, beautiful architecture that bears various styles as a result of housing many cultures throughout the history, villages that take you back in time with traditional methods that are still in use today, medieval monasteries…
This beautiful Balkan country offers more than enough despite the conflict that it went through in its recent history.
