Oh, wow. I hear (read) you totally on that! Wanderlust is just all-consuming - I hope the terror fades in time and you follow your heart to these places.
A couple of years ago, I had the most lucid dream... I was in Constantinople with my brother, except that it was at that period Byzantium, although I was in modern clothing and such. I dreamt it was sunset and all these massive old churches and strange things were around me. It was emphatically not Istanbul.
The place was really sinister and beautiful and when I woke up, I ached to go, except of course it would be nothing like that now. I'm not interested in Istanbul, but Constantinople/Byzantium haunts me. If only you could do time travel!
