A city that straddles both Europe and Asia, Istanbul is a symbol of greatness.
Istanbul is truly a world city, a city which everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. It is an enchanting blend of Eastern and Western culture, a vibrant, modern city, with an unique identity, its rich past coexisting alongside its youthful exuberance. Although no longer the capital of Turkey – Ataturk created Ankara as the capital at the heart of his new Turkish Republic, as a symbolic break from the Ottoman Empire – it remains the country’s cultural and business centre.
It is a city of contrasts, bustling with the cacophony of 21st century life, and yet achingly beautiful. It is set in a stunning location, surrounded by water – the narrow strait of the Bosphorus and the serene Sea of Marmara separating Europe from Asia. İstanbul has a foot in each, celebrating the best of both heritages.As Byzantium, Constantinople and finally, İstanbul, it has been the capital of three Empires, each leaving their mark in the form of stunning palaces, castles, mosques, churches and monuments. The legacy of its chequered past can be seen in every turn of the modern city.
Istanbul is also blessed with many beautiful sites within a short drive.The Princes’ Islands by Ferry, the Black sea Towns of Sile and Agva are famous with their clean and sandy beaches and green nature, Bursa City as the formal capital of Ottoman Empire wit its mosques, bazaar and Caravansaraies , all make Istanbul one of the most memorable destinations in Marmara Region of Turkey.
