A few years ago, actually I think it may be as many as15 years ago, I spent about five days in Istanbul. The hotel was in the Galata area, near the Taksim Square - I think. Every day started by crossing the bridge over the Golden Horn to see the amazing and various sights on the other side. I spent the whole time wandering around in a daze, with very little idea of where I was in relation to any other place I had been. This card would have been so useful!
Is this a postcard?
ReplyDeleteYes it is, Beth. It arrived in the mail just a few weeks ago. It could also be used as a map for getting about, of course.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to see this map card of Istanbul. We're thinking of going there this spring. I'm getting excited about the prospect of going.
ReplyDeleteyou know I remember the postcards that many of the tourist boards sent us that were actually maps that we used on our fam trips and then sent back in our site inspection reports to the office. they were wonderful. the stamps and the maps. always keepers.
