An exotic Istanbul Honeymoon Tour Package
Budding honeymooners hunt around the world for destinations that offer breathtaking the scenery and romantic culture, some aware of the hidden eccentricities that keep Istanbul. A fruitful and long history of four different kingdoms (Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman) allows the metropolis to provide rich, layered aesthetic experiences in architecture, landscape, music, food, and art.
However,
you are mistaken to regard it as a decaying museum-town, which is a whisper to
its former self, as it is a bustling and energetic display of the grandeur of
modernity. As the famous French military leader and political player, Napoleon
Bonaparte once said,
"If
Earth was a kingdom, Istanbul would have been its capital."
In
this article, Francis Elmdorff, the guest writer, gives advice on planning the
perfect honeymoon in the metropolitan city of Istanbul.
The
honeymoon is the equivalent of romance and is dripping with warm memories in
Istanbul. It sits under Greece on Turkey's northern border with the Bosphorus
Strait, one of the world's busiest waterways. Turkey's largest city, it
connects the continents of Europe and Asia together as it is surrounded on both
sides by the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara.
These
magnificent bodies of water feed colder climates in the north and more humid,
warmer temperatures in the south. With the natural, aquatic beauty surrounding
the city, there can be no better way to see the city by taking a romantic boat
ride across the water.

located behind the Blue Mosque (a must-visit) and next to the Mosaics Museum.
Here you can join hands among the locals, work on one-to-one hand-woven rugs
and intricately crafted ceramics.
Also,
don't forget the Spice Market that carries not only the most colorful spices
you've seen but also a rich array of honeycomb, tea, perfumes and of course,
what would be a honeymoon without an assortment of ancient aphrodisiacs. These
various sub-centers of commerce and culture will engulf honeymooners in a world
of enticing sights and scents unlike any shopping mall that one would encounter
at home.
