Brief Guide For Tourists
None of the world’s great cities can be as romantic as Istanbul, the sprawling metropolis that
straddles the Bosphorus with one foot in Europe and the other in Asia. Byzantium, Constantinople, Istanbul – its three names echo down the ages, speaking of the glories of three empires, the Roman, the Byzantine and the Ottoman. Much of the twentieth century was grim for Istanbul but today it has shot back into its own. Istanbul has the art, the architecture, the cutting-edge shops, even the gastronomy. Above all it has the spectacular scenery created by the Black Sea, the Bosphorus, the Sea of the Marmara and the Golden Horn. Buy Online Halal Food
