A dream city!!! You can feel comfort of harem and the beauty of Sultan's concubines while you are travelling in the Bosphorus. You face with statues,monuments, mosques, palaces, sinagogs and chuches... that is the place where not just two continents but everybody met, meet and will meet: Turks, Arabs, Europians, Greeks, Armenians... "Istanbul means unity of diversity" That's why it is chosen as the "Capital of Culture"... I'm sure, if you travel there, You'll realize that it was a dream city down in your heart and you discovered it yet.
Not just history ... Ä°stanbul has the modern face of Turkey. You can entertain in the night clubs in the clubs of Bosphorus and when it finishes, you may choose to go to your hotel by a boat.
Ofcourse, There are some disadventages also: the city is soo huge and crowded, traffic isa big problem and tourists should be careful for stealing money etc.

Go there and have a very unique experience. There is no other place like it. Be careful of traffic, when I was there it had only one stoplight. Do not get lost in the closed bazaar - there are miles of corridors in that place and you might not ever be found. Always take proper identification when seeing the sights. The Bosphorus, the Golden Horn, the Blue Mosque are not to be missed. If you have the chance, sail on up to the Black Sea.

Hi,
Istanbul is the connection meet where the continents meet. If I say right, it is so crowded, but very beatiful place.
Especially The Bosporus perfect, You can not see any place like other city.
Walking the seaside, drinking tea or something with watching the water and dream something. Just only try one times, if you want.
King Regards,
