In this episode, we show Viking's transfer process (including luggage handling) from the hotel to the new Galataport cruise terminal, enjoy boarding day and that evening's high-energy Turkish dance group, including the Whilrling Dervishes, then after an overnight in port, we explore what is probably the largest (and best, imo) shopping area right at the cruise terminal; note: it's not your typical 'cruise terminal shopping' with trinkets. This 7-part series explores: Istanbul, where we spend two days on our own exploring Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Basilica Cistern and downtown streets near the waterfront, before embarking on a ship tour that includes a visit to the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar and a cruise through the Bosphorus Strait. Troy, where we visit the multilayered archeological site dating back to 3500 BCE and learn of the legendary Greek mythological Trojan War.

Kotor, where we take a walk about the old town square and attended a lovely guitar concert at St. Nicholas Franciscan Monastery.
