The Meeting Continents Blog contains posts on everything about Istanbul, where the continents of Europe and Asia meet. It’s authored by Mert, who lives in Istanbul. I like the fact that it’s a personal blog written by a person who lives in the city and obviously loves Istanbul and wants to showcase the city to a wider audience. I think that you can discover a lot about a destination by reading a local blog.

I was most interested in posts about what to do and see in the city. There are many photos of the city, a several part beginners guide to the city, information about museums, art, history and cultural activities.

I have never visited Istanbul but have heard many reports that it’s a wonderful, lively and fascinating city. Reading this blog has reinforced my ambition to visit there.

I made contact with Mert of Meeting Continents Blog on the Reviewback.com site. I thought it would be a good idea to do mutual reviews of blogs related to travel to introduce other blogs to my readers and give my blog a wider audience.
