Reseña del libro "You've just got to visit Istanbul! The land of plenty. The land of culture. The foodie's paradise.: You've just got to! (en Inglés)"
You've just got to visit Istanbul! The land of plenty. The land of culture. The foodie's paradise. You've just got to! is a personal account of the author's six-day sojourn in Istanbul the land of the generous, in May 2019. She was itching to share the details of her life-changing journey that she refers to as her "Istanbul Lifetime". She has included over 160 non-photoshopped full-colour photographs for you to feast your eyes on. Written in a personal style as though communicating with a friend, she shares with you "Why Istanbul". She gives lots of "Practicalities" at the get-go interspersed with a detailed travelogue to draw you in the journey immediately. Then, in a day-by-day narration, she continues with tons more goodies for you-vivid descriptions of the utterly enchanting, cultured, gentle Istanbulites; the enthralling landscape; the fabulous body of water surrounding Istanbul; the mouth-watering cuisine; and the extraordinary sights that all combine to give us a fascinating part of the world in which to luxuriate. Oh, let's not forget the history spanning millennia, the transformations it has been through, the effervescence that characterises this city, the way it extends hospitality, its calmness, its thoughtful interactions. The author shares an anecdote or two, a proverb or two, a curiosity or two, and you'll read all about her impressions about her experiences. Also, she has provided a glossary, an extensive reading list (the titles of 64 books, including some not ordinarily associated with light-hearted travel reading), and a long, wide-ranging list of online resources. The intention is to inform, to engage, and to amuse. Also, to inspire you to pack your suitcase and rush to visit this magnificent provocative city. Now is the time. This is the place. Grab a copy of this little book without delay, and visit Istanbul. "My Istanbul Lifetime. There's just something about Istanbul that draws you in, warms your soul and takes care of you" (c).
