Istanbul Encounter (Broché)

What will your istanbul encounter be ? ...crossing your legs and admiring the tilework in the Topkapi Palace Circumcision Boom...shots of raki (aniseed brandy) while carousing with wandering musicians on Nevizade Sokak...warm stone, sort suds and the masseurs firm hands in the hamam...zigzagging between continents on a Bosphorus cruise...scents of saffron, caviar and Ottoman aphrodisiacs in the Spice Bazaar...savouring smooth apple-scented tobacco in a nargileh (water pipe) - but not inhaling.
