LTC Istanbul

Looking to participate in an ESTIEM event, five of our members came across the Logistics Training Camp in Istanbul, organized by the LG Istanbul Yildiz between the 18th and 21st of December. They were excited thinking that they should participate in an interesting event and visit Istanbul, a city with rich history. So, they filled their applications which were almost immediately accepted.
Having fixed the last details of their travel, they started their trip in the 17th by taking the ferry from Chios to Cesme and then the bus to Izmir. After few hours of waiting, they had a 5.5 hour train travel till Marmaras Sea. Then, the only thing they had to do, was to cross the Sea to Istanbul. In front of Hagia Sophia, Meltem welcome and accompanied them to the hostel where they stayed at night. Finally they were in their destination, enjoying their warm beds!
Next day they moved in the hotel where they passed all the days of the Camp. During the 4-day event, the delegates came in touch with the very interesting topic of logistics. They were informed about its important role nowadays and how can it influence and coordinate the needs of the consumers in the today’s society.
Of course, apart from the educative, there was also the entertaining part. During the Camp, they met a lot of students from allover Europe, especially from Turkey. They had great fun partying with them and made new friends and also enjoyed the Turkish culture (cuisine, dance, music, etc). The last day, they had a city tour accompanied by students who guided them to many important monuments like Hagia Sophia, Sultan Ahmet Djami and Topkapi.
Our delegates finally returned in Greece in the 21st of December, having the Istanbul experience in their minds for many many weeks…
