aspects of other empires who had reigned over the city. The famous Haghia Sophia cathedral became instead the Aya Sofya, a magnificent mosque, today one of the city's chief attractions and the old name "Constantinople" was changed to Istanbul by Mehmet the Conqueror.
Istanbul is teeming with historical treasures which means you are really spoiled for choice in deciding what to do. You do need to come to terms with the fact that on a short visit you are unlikely to be able to cram in as much as you'd like. Most places have long queues and, if you visit in the height of summer, the heat will slow you down. Don't be tempted to squeeze in too much sight-seeing; accept that you can't see everything.

I would have to say that this was by far the best hen night I have been on. We booked a package deal where we stayed in a B&B, got tickets to the show & entry to a night club after for £70 which I thought was a very good deal.
Now what can I say about the show apart from oh my god lol. Firstly the show is hosted by a drag queen (why do they always have such good legs), I was not really expecting much from the drag queen as I have seen some before who where terrible, but i have to say this drag queen was the best I have seen she was incredibly funny.
The act was ...
