Might as well check it out before Turkey goes to complete shite. Going with the gf. Should we stay in Old Town or New Town?

I have stayed in the Old Town a couple of times at the Biz Cevahir Sultanahmet. It very convenient to most of the sights and one street over from some very good restaurants. It is also not far from the area where you can catch a water taxi for a ride up the Bosporous. Great place to go and I hope you have a good time.

I would stay in Old Town to be closer to the main historical sites and attractions. Also, if you're going during summer, I'd recommend taking a day trip to the Prince Islands.

How safe is it to travel there? Everything you hear about is doom and gloom.

I graduated college with a guy from Jordan and have always thought it would be nice to go see that part of the world.

Yeah. Check out the cistern near the mosques and stay in old town. Watch your wallet in the bazaar too. Good luck
