A fabulous city. We ended up having an extra day since we had to miss the Ukraine.

This was one of our favorites. The Grand Bizarre gave us some amazing deals. Push the vendors on price until they give up. Usually about 60% of the original asking price is their limit.

The people were very friendly and the city was so different than I thought. I would return with more time to explore.

The original stop was supposed to be Alexandria, Egypt, so this was a bit of a let-down from the start, although it was surprisingly enjoyable. The Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque were amazing, but the street vendors became incredibly irritating.
