Some historic towns are the sum of their monuments. But others, such as Istanbul , offer much more: Byzantine churches in Ottoman mosques, shop in the chic boutiques to evenings in nightclubs, everything is there. Within a few minutes you will hear the call to prayer that flows from the slender minarets of the old town, the loud siren of a crowded ferry rallying Europe to Asia, or the piercing calls of hawkers loaded with fresh produce in season. Like nowhere else, this beautiful city is a tribute to the senses.
Ask Stamboulioutes what they like in their city. From a shrug, accompanied by a smile, they will tell you that there is simply no other place in the world like Istanbul. We do not hurt their word!
