This page contains a handful of photos we took while visiting Turkey's largest—and arguably most interesting—major city in early 2003.We certainly hope you enjoy them, and perhaps even consider a trip yourself to this history-filled city—assuming you haven't already had the pleasure.
As with other pages at this modest little site, we've included direct links to a number of other photos—not actually appearing on this page due to downloading limitations. Simply click onto any of those links that you'd like to view.
Thanks for dropping by . . .
