Istanbul

[KKOB]

Mrs KKOB and I are spending a few nights in Istanbul in the autumn. Any recommendations for places to visit that aren't on the usual Tourist Trail ?

The Rahmi M Koç Museum

The first major museum in Turkey dedicated to the history of Transport, Industry and Communications. Housed in magnificent buildings - themselves prime examples of industrial archaeology - on the shore of the historic Golden Horn, the collection contains thousands of items from gramophone needles to full size ships and aircraft

Fabulous place !!!!!

Sounds like my kinda place ! Mrs KKOB will be busy checking out the bead bazaar in Fatih. Thanks Kevin.

How about the cable car that overlooks the Golden Horn or one of the Prince's Islands?

[KKOB]

We'll pass on that thanks. Neither of us are great fans of cable cars and Mrs KKOB has mobility problems and I'm not letting her have the rear seat on a tandem.
