Creator's Key Takeaways

Istanbul is a more frequent port to the eastern med cruises and other ports stops in Turkey, um, have become more common.

It's probably the nicest cruise ship terminal I've been anywhere in the whole world.

Istanbul airport is the largest airport in the world by square footage.

Ephesus is the most important Greek ruin site even though it's in Turkey.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Spend at least a couple of days in Istanbul if you're going all that way.
βœ“Be aware of your surroundings in big cities to avoid petty crime.
βœ“Consider a pre or post trip to Istanbul for cruises that start or finish there.
