Well organized trip
Good.
If Istanbul is summer, islands are lemonade. :)
We had a long Turkey trip and were spending 5 days in Istanbul. Islands side regenerated us. Wheather, sea, forest… We can continue 5 days more.
It was so funny to journey with horses. But i think they are not feeded and taken care well. :/
