Zadar Insider Tip

Alfred Hitchcock called Zadar's sunset 'the most beautiful in the world.' The Sea Organ on the waterfront uses wave energy to play music through stone pipes โ€” sit beside it at dusk. The nearby Greeting to the Sun installation lights up at night.

Istanbul Insider Tip

Bargaining is expected in the Grand Bazaar. Always accept the tea offered by shopkeepers.

๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ท Istanbul Fun Fact

Istanbul is the only city in the world that straddles two continents โ€” Europe and Asia.
