Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Hi Butch, We are are scheduled to arrive on May 15 in Istanbul. My husband keeps reading me news about the protests in Turkey. I told him this was better ( IMHO )then the rioting all over France when we traveled there last year. He is concerned -- should I be? We will be in the Sulamet District for 2 nights and on board a cruise ship for 2 nights docked near Istanbul. If the streets are full of protesters one would think that the tour guides we have hired for 3 days might be unable to take us very far. Any comments will be appreciated. -- Be Well, Bobbi Guerra The Purple Sage ~ Bath & Body www.thepurplesage.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also arriving in Istanbul on May 15 and staying at the Hotel Spectra in Sultanahmet. I've been there several times and I would not be too worried about the political situation, which I've been trying to follow in the news. Istanbul is a big city and the odds that you'll get caught up in some political protest is pretty unlikely I'd say. BY the way, I am going to Isparta for the Rose Harvest. Will you be heading down there? It's exactly the right time to be there and see it. Cheers! -Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
