You’re on your way to getting married, and now it’s time for the big decision: where to honeymoon? The world offers countless fantastic destinations for celebrating this incredible life milestone. We aimed to avoid the usual island and resort spots and instead indulge in a mix of culture, food, and stunning sights. This led us to planning and booking an incredible two week trip through Turkey and Greece.
Undoubtedly, Istanbul is one of the most unique and incredible cities I’ve ever visited in the world. If you know my travel style, you know I tend to be underwhelmed by a country’s biggest cities, but Istanbul is unlike any other city I have visited. The city’s rich culture, deep history, mouth-watering cuisine, and gorgeous architecture, make it a must-visit. While you could easily spend a week or more wandering this beautiful city, a minimum of four days is needed to do it fair justice. During our trip to Turkey, we allotted only three days to the city, and without a doubt, wish we had at least one more day.
