Ramsay MacMahon visits the transcontinental Turkish city of Istanbul

Ramsay MacMahon visits the transcontinental Turkish city of Istanbul, bridging east and west. At the famous Grand Bazaar, he barters with some of the greatest salesmen in the world. He's treated to a massage at a hammam, has his fortune told in a special coffee house and is pampered at a local barber. He visits a taverna to taste the Turkish spirit raki, also known as 'lion's milk'. In the Old City, he visits some of the world's most spectacular buildings - the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and while there, he listens to the mesmerising sound of the dusk call-to-prayer. Before leaving Istanbul, Ramsay travels from Europe to Asia aboard a ferry across the Bosphorus Strait
