Istanbul! Once the center of the world’s technological advancement and cultural investment, this wonderful city sits right on the border between Europe and Asia and provides the perfect blend of European and Middle Eastern cultures.

The Middle East is a notorious difficult landscape for queer travelers and residents to navigate, and there hasn’t been much progress in this department as of overdue. In fact, we would say it has gotten worse. Worries are adequately warranted, as are genuine concerns for one’s safety.

However, Istanbul is very much its control place with a strong personality.
The former seat of the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires is also a grandiose sight to behold. The million-plus city takes you back to historic Constantinople as grand mosques, ancient markets, bustling bazaars, and magnificent palaces reflect a wealthy and fascinating past shaped over the centuries by the Greeks, Persians, Romans, Venetians, and Ottomans. It also makes for a fantastic jumping-off point for short trips to nearby Bursa, Troy, and the Prince’s Islands, or for deeper excursions into Turkey.
