About the trip

The movie 'Dil dhadakne do' and a Netflix web series 'Four more shots please' have your heart and so Istanbul. We always love to blend, whether it is about colours, cultures, spices, traditions, or anything. Istanbul is one of the significant blends. It is an abutment of two major continents-Asia and Europe. Many of us misunderstand Istanbul as the capital of Turkey, but it is not. Turkey's capital is Ankara, while Istanbul is Turkey's largest city. Istanbul has a treasure of mesmerizing mosques, antique architecture, charming cuisines, unique traditions, cultures, intricate churches, palaces, vibrant markets, and the most delicious Turkish delights. As Istanbul straddles two continents; we can say. 'East met West; Istanbul is best!'
