This resort is meremoments away from Istanbul ...

[asocrates]

Yeap, the landmark showcase is the Byzantine Church of Agia Sophia (Holy Wisdom) in what was Constaninople now modern day Istanbul. The depicted waterway is the Bosporus straits which connect the Black Sea to the Mediterranean Sea. So it has to be a resort in Istanbul close to or overlooking the waterway!

well, I am a bit baffled and I'm bidding ! The only property I see at this location is a full board resort, so I don't really have a clue (except the one below!). That in itself is more interesting since that city is a hour flight from Istanbul. Maybe this is a new property? Or maybe an offer being re-introduced? Curiouser and curiouser...

[kyshel]

hloberfeld--I just noticed who posted the clue. I expected it to be from a moderator--my error in thinking it was a real clue. I guess I need to pay more a ttention to detail. But, that wasn't very nice, considering it was hardly accurate. I figured it out, no thanks to your "misdirection"! Are you cheering against me? (wink)

My guess istheA'jia Istanbul, Turkey. The big clue (I think)is the speed boat.

CLUE:

[hloberfeld]

No misdirection meant -- I merely looked up "Travel Offers" and the onlyone offered in Turkey was Izmir.



Now I see that there are other possibilities under "Destinations" -- but the Istanbul one mentioned by slimzone below has "free boat service," NOT the "use of a speedboat" as described.



We'll never know who was right, or what that silly symbol clue meant. Notmuch fun if you never get to know!

[kyshel]

All gone...did my best, but the A'jia will have to entertain another bidder. I gave my all until my limit was reached.
Guess I'll go elsewhere...hmmmm....Mexico or Costa Rica??
