"When you finally stand at the crossroads of the world"

"When you finally stand at the crossroads of the world" Istanbul, once Constantinople. A mega-city spanning Asia and Europe, it blends the grandeur of Rome, the faith of Byzantium, and the splendor of the Ottomans, earning it the title of "Capital of the World." A must-visit for history buffs, culture enthusiasts, art lovers, and photographers! The sea breeze blows across the free Bosphorus Strait, passing merchant ships, magnificent bridges, and leisurely pedestrians along the shore. It's worth a stop for every traveler passing through.
