Istanbul (also Constantinople, Byzantine) - is a different, colorful city that fascinates with various colors. Here are combined Europe with Asia, old history with modernity, luxury with poverty, nature with laziness and boiling energy. Even the Bosphorus, the blue artery of Istanbul, has dual nature. The waters of the Bosphorus flow in opposite directions: upper stream flows from the Black Sea to the Sea of Marmara, and downstream flows on the contrary. Gustave Flaubert, who is fascinated by the crowds and diversity of Istanbul, said: ‘’ Constantinople must be the capital of the world’’. At that time, the city became the capital of the Greek, Byzantine, Latin and Ottoman Empires; each of them has left a mark. Traveling in Turkey is all about history and travel should start from this great city, where two continents stand.
