Aromas, flavors, bazars and history around Istanbul Turkey (Part 1)

My journal

A couple of flights away from Chania, Crete Greece we ended up in Sultanahmet Istanbul.

As you fly in over Istanbul, you are reminded that this is a city of over 12 million people.

In search of a short trip near Chania, my family and I decided to spend a few days exploring the wonders and as much history as possible.

Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Galata tower, Taksim square just to name a few.

This is my “warm up” post before I manage to edit and share some more of the images I captured during our trip.

Stand by for part 2 and thanks for visiting.

Taking Penelope for the first time to the Acropolis in Athens Greece
Our daughter has fallen asleep countless times with stories from Greek mythology. One of her favorites is how Athens got its name from the goddess Athena. Walking around the Acropolis then up to the sacred hill to the Parthenon was very special for even at the age of seven.

Sunday excursion into the Cretan mountains
Not that we hiked of roughed it up but we definitely chowed down like wolves. It was a magical day with Penelope’s Godmother her soon to be hubby, Penelope herself and Anna. We visited the Chania horse riding Club in Malaxa but Penelope decided not to ride on this day. Mind you she has in th epast and loves it. But go figure. Nest a drive around Drakona and saw the traditional way of cooking in the villages of Chania Crete, Greece.Notice some of the deep forest images near the snowline. A rare site for tourists in the Summer. And the finale of the day was dinner at Therisos. Till next time..
