Istanbul

Where East meets West stands one of the most fascinating cities in the world – Istanbul. From the beautiful mosques that dot the city to the exotic Spice and Grand Bazaars, the sights and sounds of Istanbul take you back to an age when sultans rode on stallions through the streets of their realm. Today, Istanbul is a world class metropolis of more than 15 million people and luxe hotels jostle on the banks of the Bosphorus for the custom of the travelers that come from all over the globe to see the soaring domes and minarets of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia, and the ornate beauty of Topkapi Palace. Contemporary Istanbul can be found along İstiklâl Caddesi, in the heart of Beyoğlu, and is where you will find the best restaurants in the city. Don’t miss Çukurcuma, where you will find a multitude of antique shops and hipster hangouts.
