aving been the capital city of many
civilizations throughout a history of
centuries, İstanbul is still in the state
of the capital city of Turkey, though
unofficially. This giant city with a
population of twenty million still
continues to host countless different cultures.
You will say hello to İstanbul, with the unique beauty of
its Bosphorus, and you will immediately enter into a vast
world. Such a richness has that world! The ageless traces
of the Byzantine Empire, unmatched monuments from
the era of the Ottoman Empire, palaces, markets…
While you walk around the historical peninsula, the
Hagia Sophia will rise on the one side and the Blue
Mosque on the other. Another day you will visit
Topkapı Palace and discover the Grand Bazaar
where you will meet the wealth carried along the
Silk Road and the Spice Route. You will take a walk
in the colorful neighborhoods of the Christian
and Jewish communities, explore different tones
of the classical Turkish music, and enjoy the
rich Turkish cuisine.
