Istanbul
Enchantingly Unique
Magical, mystical and misterious, Istanbul is the absolute first in terms of cosmopolite history and fun-culture combination. One of the first metropols in history, life in Istanbul is a mosaic that brings together different cultures and traditions, some dating back centuries and others more modern, an intriguing mix of east and west, past and present, exotic and avant-garde... All together a vibrant cultural scenary waiting to be explored...
İstanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique features. It is the only city in the world to straddle two continents, and the only one to have been a capital during two consecutive empires - Christian and Islamic. Once was capital of the Ottoman Empire, İstanbul still remains the commercial, historical and cultural pulse of Turkey, and its beauty lies in its ability to embrace its contradictions. Ancient and modern, religious and secular, Asia and Europe, mystical and mundane all co-exist here.
Its variety is one of İstanbul’s greatest attractions: The ancient mosques, palaces, museums and bazaars reflect its diverse history. The thriving shopping area of Taksim buzzes with life and entertainment. And the serene beauty of the Bosphorus strait, Princes Islands and parks bring a touch of peace to the otherwise chaotic metropolis.
The increasing number of best practice facilities and tastefull hotels make Istanbul also one of the world’s leading congress and meeting destinations.
