Istanbul Unveiled Travel Documentary by Serif Yenen is available on YouTube now!

It is a city of mystery, a city of wonders, whose history is unlike any other. Istanbul—once known as Byzantium, then renamed Constantinople—served as the capital of three empires. Today, its architectural treasures are enduring legacies of Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman rule.

Once a major stop along the Silk Road, Istanbul’s historic center is now a UNESCO Heritage site. Its past continues to offer up new discoveries and evidence of the quotidien lives of long-ago city dwellers. There are also reminders around every corner of the city’s place in world history, from Hagia Sophia to Topkapi Palace, from the Chora Monastery to the underground ruins of the Byzantine Great Palace.

Serif Yenen, a travel specialist, and author, highlights some of the iconic places to visit along with sites still waiting to be discovered by visitors to this storied city.

The odd and unforgettable wonderland of Cappadocia!

Last Saturday on Feb. 20, CNN Travel aired an episode devoted entirely to Cappadocia on the travel program, “Quest's World of Wonder.” This is the second episode in the fourth recurring season of the show, which is presented by CNN’s well-known anchor and correspondent Richard Quest, who also paid a visit to Istanbul in the travel show’s premiere season in 2019. The show has had to film much of the past two seasons amid the COVID-19 pandemic and even aired an episode devoted entirely to the technical difficulties of the situation. Nonetheless, production persevered, and in November of last year, Quest visited destinations in Turkey’s historical Cappadocia region known for its fairy-chimney rock formations, caves and underground dwellings and embarked on adventures such as frequenting the Avanos Hair Museum, riding a horse and hot air balloon and filming from the award-winning Museum Hotel.

“It is unique. There is a landscape that is one of a kind, with experiences that are unusual and enriching - and you will want to experience the distinctiveness of all of this for yourself,” said Quest, speaking on his experience filming the segment at Cappadocia.
