Κωνσταντινούπολη-Πόλη των πόθων


For those who do not speak Greek, the title of the post means Istanbul-City of Lusts!

this is the title of the new book of Giannis Xanthoulis, a Greek writer with origins from Istanbul, decorated with pictures of Ara Guler, a well known Turkish photographer...
For the worshippers of this City, a tea at his Cafe in Peran, opposite to Galatasaray Lycee is a must!

I always wanted to live in that City for some time, to stroll around, enjoy the smell of bahars, rediscover who I am...European, Anatolian, Greek, Balkan....

ένα χαρμάνι as my great-grandmam would say...

today my heart and mind is there...wondering whether I threw away the chance to enter the Gates of Istanbul as Loreena McKennitt sings...
