Istanbul

Travellers sometimes describe Turkey as a “symphony of sounds, smells and people in the most unlikely combinations of appearance and action”. In Turkey you will experience an incredible diversity in nature, culture, history, beliefs and ideas. As well as being the capital of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, and the largest city of Turkey, it is the only city in the world, which embraces two continents – Europe and Asia.

 The museums, churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars and the sights of natural beauty seem inexhaustible. Istanbul is truly one of the most glorious cities in the world.
