Our only regret with Greg is that we didn't see him our first day in Istanbul so we could have benefitted from all his insights and great recommendations! He's a truly gracious guy, me us outside the grand bazaar and tolerated what I'm sure must be a bore accompanying tourists around that thick market of souvenirs and wonders. We went off on a meandering tour of interesting nooks and crannies, a tea/smoke house with only locals, delicious grilled mackerel sandwiches with parsley and olive oil, the best baklavas in Istanbul, a side trip to a cafe with wireless so I could make an important call back to the U.S, and ended up in galata, a Greg neighborhood centered around a tower where we climbed up to a breathtaking view of the entire panorama sipping tea and enjoying Greg's engaging company. Highly recommended!
