About the Book

Istanbul is vibrant, exciting, historic, huge, noisy and chaotic! A city that has to be visited and revisited to see only a portion of the "must sees." Three days, the amount of time tourists usually spend here, will only touch on its attractions. Prepare to be on the go from daybreak until late in the evening when Istanbul's famous sights are lit against the skyline. Walk feet down to the nubs through incredible neighborhoods, exotic sights wherever you look. And eat yourself into a Pistachio Baklava stupor... The Spice Bazaar (also called the "Egyptian Bazaar") sells spices and aphrodisiacs. Spend hours in Topkapi Palace Museum with its never-ending rooms and mind-blowing emeralds. Gawk at the magnificent mosiacs and marble pillars of Saint Sophia, once the greatest church in Christendom; the fantabulous Blue Mosque, even more beautiful at night. Get lost in the forerunner of all shopping malls - The Grand Bazaar built in the 1400s with 3,600 shops; and don't forget to buy a blue bead to ward off evil! You, too, can take an Exotic Vacation. Such a trip can be had for less than taking the family to DisneyWorld. Let Travels With Sheila teach you how to Travel the World on a Budget, share exotic locations with you known only to locals, and most importantly, ease your fears about languages, currencies, personal safety and staying healthy. Follow her advice to avoid making mistakes she learned the hard way. HERE'S SOME OF THE INFORMATION YOU'LL FIND INSIDE... - Important Tips for Traveling in Turkey. - The Dos and Don'ts of Planning A Trip to Istanbul. - Moneysaving Tips for Istanbul. - How to See the Best of Istanbul Without Wasting Time. Now, Travels With Sheila tells it like it is with personalized, up-to-date information and photographs. What you need to make the most of your trip in Istanbul; a city that you simply can't visit too often.
About the Author: Sheila Simkin, a native Chicagoan, has been traveling the world since 1960. The travel bug first hit on her honeymoon in Miami. Fidel Castro had just taken over Cuba and lured by rock-bottom prices, Sheila sweet-talked her ex-husband into abandoning Miami for Cuba. That marked the beginning of her lifetime travel passion and addiction. There are very few countries that are not on her to-see list no matter how remote and/or difficult they may be with many, "What was I thinking of" moments in hindsight. The U.S. State Department recognizes 193 independent countries and she has visited over 150 in over 40 years of travel (but...who's counting). Touring, hiking, trekking, rafting, snowshoeing, skiing, volunteering on archaeological digs, family trips and, she must admit, occasionally sitting on a beach and compulsively shopping. Her goal is to encourage you to take the big step and travel to more exotic, remote destinations with tips, anecdotes and reassurance that, yes, you will come back alive. Visit her "travelswithsheila" channel on YouTube to watch over 1,400 videos filmed around the world and covering the gamut from taking a cruise to camping in Egypt's desert, food (fried tarantulas, anyone?), sights and even instructions on how to navigate subways in Paris and Beijing. All Travels With Sheila Guides will tell you the truth, and only the whole truth, about each country and whether sights are a hit, or a miss. Follow Sheila's advice to avoid making mistakes she learned the hard way. For example, not knowing that an important piece of equipment when camping or trekking is...an AIR MATTRESS? A never to be forgotten experience spent in a sleeping bag on the cold, hard ground of Nepal. And what kind of crazy idiot goes trekking in Siberia and gets lost? Really...lost in Siberia? Only Sheila. Happy traveling!
