You’ve spent the entire day exploring Istanbul’s mosques, monuments and palaces. You’ve walked through the remnants of Constantinople and the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires and you have the sore feet to prove it! You’ve returned to your quiet hotel room, had shower, rest and cup of Turkish tea. Now you’re ready to hit the city again! But where to go in Istanbul after dark? Here are a few ideas on stepping out in Istanbul!

Bosphorus Cruise

If sore feet are a priority, enjoy an evening of food, drink and live music while cruising between Europe and Asia on one of the world’s most magnificent waterways. Put your feet up as you cruise by dramatically lit mosques, palaces and under the city’s soaring bridges. Spy on the night activity in the posh Bosphorus neighborhoods of Bebek and Ulus. The price includes a full dinner, drinks, an exciting floorshow with a Turkish belly dancer and round trip transfer from your hotel. Ask a local agency about availability.

Dinner with a View: Hamdi Restaurant

If you’re in the mood for something local then head for Hamdi. Located just steps away from the Egyptian Spice Market, this popular place serves typical Turkish fare; hot grilled kebabs, small bowls of colorful mezes, crisp green salads and last, but certainly not least, Baklava! (Dubbed Turkish Viagra buy the locals!) But the real star of Hamdi is the view. Sit on the top terrace and take in views of Galata, the Bosphorus and the magnificent mosques of Eminonu.

Balik Sokak

Just steps away from the Marmara Sea, Balik Sokak (Fish Street) comes alive at dusk with lively restaurants serving fresh fish, meze, raki and lots of beer. Expect live music, impromptu singing and dancing performed by tipsy Turkish men with big mustaches!

Nevizade Sokak

Just off the Beyoglu Balik Pazari (Beyoglu Fish market) and Cicek Pasaji, Nevizade Sokak is a narrow street chock full of bars and outdoor restaurants. The restaurants offer meze, meals and musicians at your table; the bars offer stools where you can park, people watch and enjoy a chilled Efes beer. Some of the bars have terraces on the roof, of course every waiter will swear blind that his bar’s terrace is more beautiful than the next guy’s! Most places have a fixed-price menu, so ask for prices in advance.

Turkish Night

If you’re a fan of music or dance, then a check out an evening “Turkish Night” dinner show, featuring traditional song, dance and costumes from the four corners of Turkey. Favorites include the fast spinning and stomping of the energetic Black Sea Dancers and the mesmerizing whirling of of the famed whirling dervishes. The evening belongs, however, by the lovely belly-dancing ladies who can show you a move or two! Book early at a local agency for good seats. Again, ask at a local agency about shows as they vary in price and program. Full dinner, drinks and transportation to and from your hotel are included in the price.

Nargile Cafe

Corlulu Ali Pasa Narghile Cafe was built in 1709, and is a well-known atmospheric water-pipe (nargile) place near Beyazit, (just 2 tramway stops from Sultanahmet stop, or a short stroll along the tramline.) This lovely hidden spot is where you can try a waterpipe or just relax and enjoy the exotic aroma of an apricot Narghile while sipping Turkish tea or coffee. Kittens will play at your feet. Old men will play backgammon. A great place to unwind after a trip to the nearby Grand Bazaar. The cafe serves a variety of tea, soft drinks and Turkish coffee.

Sultanahmet Hot Spots
Looking for an after diner drink not too far from your hotel? In Sultanahmet, grab a cocktail, raki, Efes Beer or glass of wine at…

Sah Bar: Hidden away from the main Tramway Street, this bar is rocking the alley in the summer, and warm and intimate by the fireplace in the winter. Cosy decor and great music.

Akbayik Street: There are a few bars that go all night long on this street. Check out “Just Bar”, popular with locals and backpackers. Great outdoor seating.

The North Shield: Located just off the Gulhane tramway station one stop away from Sultanahmet. More expensive than the first two, but a great place to watch a football match.

May be it is the good weather. It could be the white sands, the soothing sensation of walking bare feet on the beaches. It could also be the ability to shake off the press and have quiet moments to oneself that makes Mombasa such a popular destination for celebrities. Beach sports, both water and land are available in abundance.

They jet into the country, some in private jets landing directly at Moi international airport in Mombasa. Unlike the capital city Nairobi, Mombasa has few media personalities that are based there, thus making it an ideal hiding place.

Unlike the highly marketed reclaimed beaches down south, Mombasa’s beach is natural. The Kenyan people are friendly and hospitable. They have no problem conversing in English, making them popular with English speakers worldwide.

Celebrities who have visited Mombasa quietly in the recent past include Kenny Rodgers, the William sisters Serena and Venus, Oprah Winfrey and many movie stars. Most of them prefer to come for quiet moments and the local media reports about them long after they have left.

Bill Gates has also had his quiet moments in Mombasa. But supermodel Naomi Campbell does differently. She owns a home in Malindi that she visits every year. She appreciates the Kenyan coast and her hospitable people, and hence never misses to keep her Kenyan date.

Quality accommodation is available here, even for the top of the range upmarket. Economy travelers also have a wide variety of hotels and cottages to choose from.

Just what makes Mombasa so popular? There is something for everyone. For those who love the night life, there are numerous nightspots to choose from. The sound of lovely African music with live bands that can take you around the world of music within a night is irresistible.

The city has excellent weather with sunbathing being possible in ten months every year. Even the coldest months, June and July can provide sunny mornings that are lovely to busk in as always. Kenya lies on the equator and therefore it does not experience extreme changes in weather patterns.

For the lovers of history, the town is rich in historical sites. From the famous fort Jesus within town to the Gedi Ruins an hour’s drive towards Kilifi. Mombasa also serves as a base for the traveler who wishes to sample Kenya’s world famous wildlife. The vast Tsavo National park is only four hours drive away.

Africa has many lovely destinations but none matches Mombasa when it comes to just having it easy and enjoying personal quiet moments.

Australia is a land with a unique flora and fauna that is found nowhere else on earth. It is also a land of many contrasts and a wide variety of climate that ranges from tropical to sub alpine. It is easy to forget that this vast island - continent has only been known to the rest of the world for just 250 years. Australia is roughly the same size as the U.S.A. (if you exclude Alaska) whilst its population is only one tenth of the U.S.A.’s That means there’s plenty of room for both the Aussies and their visitors! It also makes the Australian continent the world’s most sparsely populated continent - with the obvious exception of Antarctica. Overall, Australia is the driest continent in the world, but the lush and fertile area that makes up its eastern seaboard provides the majority of its population with a much more hospitable place to live. Separating this fertile land from the vast, barren outback region is a mountain range named the Great Dividing Range. At its southern end you will find the Australian Alps or Snowy Mountains as the Australians call them. Both names are equally apt because these mountains receive as much snowfall as Switzerland. In addition to these amazing variation of climate and terrain, there are also large regions of Savannah grasslands and a distinctly Mediterranean climate around the coastal areas of the south west. Many areas of northern and eastern Australia experience a tropical climate and there are both tropical and temperate rain forests to be found.

Yet, despite all of these huge areas where water exists in abundance, the vastness of Australia’s interior is what makes the continent the world’s driest. This enormous area is what is referred to as the Outback and it is perhaps the very heart of Australia in terms of feeling as well as in physical location. It is probably a picture from the Outback that pops into most people’s mind when they think about Australia. There is something so awe inspiring and unique about the total emptiness of this landscape as it seems go on to infinity, that it demands to be experienced by every visitor no matter what else they have come to see. Australia is made up of seven states.

These are:

• Tasmania - an island with a temperate rain forest south east of the Australian mainland and on the same latitude as central New Zealand.
• New South Wales - Australia’s most highly populated state and located in the south-east of the country. It is here you will find Australia’s biggest and probably best known city, Sydney.
• Victoria - the smallest mainland state but also the one with the highest density of population. Australia’s second largest city, Melbourne is located near the south coast of this state and as well as enjoying a Mediterranean climate it boasts the World’s largest Greek population outside of Greece!
• South Australia - bordered by the Southern Ocean and the home state of Adelaide, Australia’s capital city.
• Western Australia - This vast area is Australia’s largest and, covers the whole western third of the Australian mainland, thus making Perth, its capital city, one of earths most isolated large cities.
• The Northern Territory - This state is very sparsely populated and is tropical in the north and desert in the south. The capital of this state is Darwin and its other main city is Alice Springs. Alice lies in the heart of the Outback, and is the city every tourist sets off from to visit Ayers Rock
• Queensland - This state occupies the north eastern corner of Australia, and experiences both tropical climate and subtropical climates. Its principle city is Brisbane which has 1.2 million inhabitants. The great barrier reef is located off the coast of Queensland and the state has some of the finest beaches in Australia.

As one of the most haunted cities in North America it stands to reason that a fair proportion of the hotels in Savannah are similarly afflicted. So, if you are heading to the city for a stay, before you check-in, check-out whether you’ve opted for one of the four most frequently haunted hotels that offer a free unwanted extra guest option.

One of the oldest hotels in Savannah was built in 1851, and is a prime candidate for ghostly encounters; the Marshall House is featured on the city’s ghost tour and has a chequered history, being at various times a hospital - once for yellow fever - and also a Union soldiers’ clinic during the Civil War. After human bones were unearthed during excavations at the hotel in 1960 guests have frequently reported strange encounters, with many reporting that they have awoken feeling as though someone is taking their pulse. Ghosts of long-dead soldiers and patients have also been seen wandering the hallways and standing in the foyer.

Built in 1852, only a year later than Marshall House, the eerie East Bay Inn backs onto the Savannah River and is home to Charley; the hotel’s ‘official’ ghost. This apparition is a regular visitor to the Inn and in 2001 Charley was finally snapped on film by a guest; the evidence now on display behind check-in. If you plan to stay there just ask to see the picture when you arrive, so you’ll be able to identify him later if he appears in your room!

The Eliza Thompson House pre-dated both of the previously mentioned hotels, its construction completed in1847. Once a private house it is now a 25-room Inn, spread over two major buildings. Both guests and visitors have reported seeing Confederate soldiers at an upstairs window and a young girl in a white dress regularly walks the hallway.

Finally, the Olde Harbour Inn is frequently filled with the smell of cigar smoke even when no smokers are present, courtesy of Hank, the Inn’s resident ghost. Holder of the ‘most-often sighted ghost in Savannah’, Hank also likes to indulge in a spot of coin throwing and frequently likes to move things around, such as books and other small items.

Of course, not every hotel in Savannah has a haunting reputation, but in a city of such historical significance and one that has witnessed its fair share of conflicts and tragedy, it is perhaps inevitable that there are some restless souls who resolutely refuse to check out of their preferred accommodation.
