For the ones who like reading about history, I think this site gives some nice information accompanied with pictures.

Definitely!

I was there sometime in the early 80s last. Could have been 83 or 84. I've always wanted to return.

When I was there I was in my spring or Easter holidays. My parents forced me to take my younger brother along, I remember that. >:(

What I remember most was the huge cherries they were selling in the markets, as big as apricots and dark red. And it was the first time my father drank with me. We shared a small bottle of raki with lots of fishy and seafoody stuff near the Galata bridge. ;D

The cherries there are from another planet as is the ice cream. [image]
