There is simply nowhere like Istanbul.

Usually I avoid posting fairy tale threads on reddit because, living in a huge tourist city, I know how insincere it can come across, and that you all must hear the same thing on repeat.

In this case however I have no choice.

Having visited over the last week, and now returned back home in the UK, I want people to know that I'll love this place till my last breath. Even if all those hills in Sultanahmet near enough killed me in the August heat.

I've been to London, Paris, Barcelona, Berlin, several other great cities around Europe but none of them are Istanbul. And none could be. One of the glittering jewels of human civilisation. I'll be back, hopefully when it's snowing!
