Destination: Istanbul, Turkey
On my way from Cyprus to Mumbai, I have arranged a quick one-night stop in Istanbul. I was recommended to check it out and got in touch with Burak from Corvos, who is kind to help me with a place to sleep and also invited me to come train with them. Seems like they have a really good gym going there, so will be exciting to check it out. Unfortunately only for one night, since I have to make it to the weekend training in Evolution MMA in Mumbai, but it is pretty close to my home, so I can always come back another time.
It will be an exciting nine days in Turkey, visiting both Ankara, North Cyprus and then Istanbul. I am really looking forward to it!

I myself from Ankara, so don’t want to offend guys in Ankara :) but that would be a missing Turkey trip without seeing Istanbul. I am really happy you also consider my recommendation.

Awesome! I was hoping you’d stop in there, as I’ve been wanting to head down myself next time I’m over. The facility looked great, judging by that online seminar Felipe Costa streamed recently.
Shame you’ve only got one night, as Istanbul is seriously stuffed with things to do. Couple of recommendations from my last travel write-up, here and here, if you’re considering what to do (although I’m sure Selman and of course Burak can offer plenty more info).
I’m going to really enjoy vicariously training in Turkey and Cyprus through your future blog posts. :D
