#259

Received: June 3rd, 2014
From: Hasan (Istanbul, Turkey)
Depicts: Views from Istanbul, Turkey

This was my very first card from Turkey, which is always so special! It shows three famous things in Istanbul: the Bosphorus strait and the bridge that connects Europe and Asia; the gate of Beylerbeyi Palace (the Sultan's summer palace), which I can only imagine must be an amazing monument; and the old cable car in the old town of Istanbul, which is nice and reminded me of Lisbon. Turkey is a place that intrigues me and I really liked getting the card.

Postcard stamps:
As a sports lover, I really enjoyed the stamp on the right.
