I returned from working in Saudi traveling alone through Turkey, Greece, Italy. I found turkey fascinating. At that time few Americans visited Turkey but when they found out I was American they treated me like a movie star. It is so sad that we have managed to lose our friendship with them. I loved The Hagia Sophia of course. And the grand bazaar. Istanbul is fascinating.
