Hi Chris,
Sounds like you missed the archeological museums in Istanbul. Too bad. You were so close. It’s in the park beside Aya Sophia. Maybe next time. Here’s a site of photos I found. Will give you an idea of what’s there.

Hi Chris,
I enjoyed the episodes about my country very much. The 46th episode was great and these last ones rules too. And it is obvious that they will help a lot. Thanks for praising my country but from and objective sight.
I really wondered how did you met with Emre. I really enjoy your podcast service and I wish I could be a part of your trip. Thanks for your contribution to the world’s amateur travelers culture and it’s free and accessible from everywhere.
Best Wishes,
Abdullah

Hi everyone, interested in this episode,
You may check this 360 degree panoramic collection of Istanbul’s Museums, Mosques, Historic and public places. Of course it doesn’t takes place of visiting there and breathing in it. But this is a cool collection to keep in hand even for me to visit when I miss Istanbul.
