Well, my special trip to IST got postponed until November which in some ways is a good thing since they have had a very cold Jan./Feb. It seems that we'll have to stay 6 nights instead of 4/5. Is that really too many nights even for people who haven't been there before? Are there interesting day trips from the city that you recommend? We will be staying at the Four Seasons so that should be very comfortable but maybe we should split that up too and try the Pera Palace or Ciragan? Any recommendations are welcome! Thanks
