In this weeks’ New York Times cover 36 hours in Istanbul, Turkey.
This artilce covers in many words the reason why Turkey is such a great place to visit, and imagine playing golf with all of that. The great weather and the perfect conditions for Golf also help out “regular” tourists when they visit the country, and if you are not in the mood for golf there is always plenty of other things to do.
Here is the opening paragraph of the artilce, for the rest click the link in the bottom.
FROM a skyline featuring both minarets and church spires to the call to prayer competing with lounge music in a hip cafe, Istanbul is the only major city to span two continents. While it is known for sights dating back thousands of years, it also has a fascinating, and often ignored, contemporary scene that is finally receiving international attention. As a 2010 European Capital of Culture, the city is showcasing local artists in both historic areas and new museums — yet another example of how Istanbul is among the world’s most visually stimulating cities.
