Friday Photo – Leaving Istanbul

In May 2009 I left Istanbul to embark on a journey overland to Syria.

First up I needed to get out of Europe and into Asia. In Istanbul this is as simple as catching a ferry across the Bosphorus (or under it nowadays through the Marmara Tunnel, by train).

You can read about my visits to Istanbul (and how I nearly missed this ferry) in my book ‘Travelling By Train Across The Balkans’.

Featuring Train Travel in Albania, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Northern Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, & European Turkey
