In this piece for the Miami Herald, a travel journalist goes to Istanbul and pens: “This is the mystical Istanbul I had imagined as, in anticipation of a two-week trip to Turkey… Every day, I wake up to fishermen taking out small boats under uncertain skies, freighters blowing their horns in competition with squawking seagulls and the piercing, soulful Muslim call to prayer heard four more times throughout the day until dusk.”
Yes, this piece will make you want to buy a one-way ticket.
