  2. Sabiha Gökçen Airport, Istanbul (Possibly The Best Airport In The World?)

    Blog: Turkey's For Life - 22 May 2012

    Three weeks back when we were flying to Italy, our flight was leaving from Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side of the city.

  8. Ölüdeniz: The Belcekiz Beach VIP Area - Would You Use It?

    Blog: Turkey's For Life - 14 May 2012

    Each year, at the beginning of the summer season, resorts in the Fethiye area usually reveal a few changes for the season ahead.

  13. Aerial Istanbul - View From A Plane

    Blog: Turkey's For Life - 28 April 2012

    On Thursday we left Turkey and a gloriously sunny Istanbul by taking a flight to Rome. The weather in Istanbul was hot and, most importantly, it was clear. We flew from Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Anatolian side of Istanbul (more about that airport in a later post - it really does merit a post on its own) but the flight path meant we got to fly over the whole of Istanbul. Amazing!
