MARCO POLO travelled the world in 53 years (1254
- 1324), between the ages 17 to 70.
A
few years before his death , he said , "I
haven't told half of what I saw. Because , had
I done so , nobody would have believed me".

must be a place in the world which you haven't

while enjoying the historical richness of Istanbul
where Asia meets Europe or when enjoying the warm
Mediterranean sun.
