Any problems getting into the US or anywhere having visited?

Haven't tried yet but considering I've been to most middle east countries including Iran in the space of 18 months I dare say I'll be nominated for a full cavity search when the time comes.

Stupid question , is it actually sage now ?

Yeah just the thyme it takes to get there puts people off.

 

[Geronimo]

I need to get away like, might go here, why is it so good?

It's different from any other city I've visited - culturally.

The mosques, the architecture, the people. Take a trip up the Bosphorus to the Black Sea. Scenery is stunning.

Me and my mate stayed in an Airbnb in Beyoglu (just off Taksim Square) but got the boat over the river to Kadikoy for a couple of nights out. f***ing class.

Not if it's in a Brit passport, my Lebanese mate would beg to differ and won't return after being made to strip

Booking two city type breaks at the moment (4 nights).

One sorted to Seville and considering Istanbul. Flights with KLM and picked a hotel but not sure if 4 nights will be overkill. Ideas on sights welcomed

If you’re doing four nights in Seville it’s a bit long so definitely do a side trip to Córdoba or Cadiz or both!

Seville is stunning, not in summer though..

Seville is great. Córdoba is great. Grenada is great. Cadiz and Jerez are shit holes.

Wish I’d gone to Ronda instead.

I went to Ronda last year stunning.

Wouldn’t say Cadiz or Jerez were shit holes mind

Jerez was particularly rough as fuck.

I thought it was alright..

Granada town itself is a bit gritty.

Thanks for the advice. Mrs C wanted to go, and I thought it was a bit long for one place. I'd definitely appreciate travel advice to Cordoba, Granada and Cadiz.

We flew into Granada and spent two nights there, then got the train to Seville and had five nights there which included day trips to Cordoba, Cadiz and Jerez.

The trains are regular, cheap enough and better than you'd get at home. We stayed in Airbnbs, let me know if you want the links.

Cadiz is no way a shithole, fantastic city. Been twice and loved it.

Jerez is underwhelming on a first visit mind

We've already booked hotel and flights, staying in Seville..

Looking for a 2 single days travel, but thinking Granada is too far by train in a day?

Fair enough, it wasn't a shite hole but on a wet and windy January afternoon it wasn't worth wandering round.

Jerez was genuinely rough. It was only worth going to for the sherry tour.

Yes probably, it was about 3hrs to get there iirc. Definitely do Cordoba.

Brilliant. Thanks guys

Brilliant. Thanks guys

If you go to Jerez for the sherry tour don't do the Tio Pepe one, it wasn't that good. Plenty of other smaller wineries do them for less and they'll be better.
