Our Travel Plans



Matt and I will leave for Turkey next Monday. I thought I'd give you an outline of our travel plans.

We plan to spend the first few days of our trip in beautiful Istanbul. We are looking forward to visiting Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar.

Then we will travel to Izmir, a coastal city. The city is the country's second largest port after Istanbul. We will spend the day in Izmir, and then travel to the hostel in Selçuk. We also plan to visit Ephesus, which is known for its well preserved ruins. Matt will write a more in depth post later this week.
