Istanbul
41.00N 29.00E.
Istanbul, a pearl nestling between two great
continents, a crossroad between East and West for thousands of years, a meeting
place of different cultures. It is no wonder that this city is packed with the
history left over from centuries of civilization.
With a population now exceeding 16 million,
it is a busy, bustling city with a vibrancy not to be missed. The main historical
center is in and around the district of Sultanahmet, a narrow peninsula between
the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara to the south.
For those interested in history and all
that a city like Istanbul has to offer, an entire vacation could be spent here.
With so many other places to fit into a limited vacation schedule, and the dust
and heat of summer, most first time visitors limit their stay in Istanbul to
two or three days, enough time to visit all the main sights.
