Turkey (Türkiye)
For many people Turkey means Istanbul. The amazing city rightly gets lots of attention. Soaring mosques overlooking the glistening Bosphorus that divides the Asian & European sides of the great city.
I have visited Istanbul many times and here are a few pictures from down the years.











Portugal
A short train ride from Porto sits the wonderful medieval city of Guimaraes.
The Duke’s Palace is its star attraction, but the whole compact city is a jewel.
