There can be no best therapy than retail therapy for any woman whether it can be done in a fancy shopping mall, bazaars or Souq (local market in middle east). A travel to Turkey is incomplete without visiting grand bazaar. Though fancy shopping malls has own charm but trust me the satisfaction of shopping at small bazaars and souq is far more than doing shopping in big Malls.

However short cruise trip is good for those travellers who have time constraint and still want to explore some. Those who have time i wo...
