The very mention of Istanbul should conjure images of minarets on the horizon, the cry of the birds flying over the Bosphorous, right down to the aromatic, noisy streets, where modern Istanbul sits hand in hand with the ancient sites of the city. Istanbul has been a thriving city for centuries, the streets seem to welcome the visitor into its plethora of sounds and sights that fill the senses. A whole world away from the tourist resort of Bodrum, Istanbul is akin to a vast open air theme park that you will never tire of travelling to.
However, unlike any theme park in the world, Istanbul offers you some of the most famous and beautiful architecture imaginable, with its rich history and tales of conquering Sultans, it is impossible not to be caught up in its magical web. This is a place to which you will want to return time and time again.
