Description

Straddling the Bosphorus, its skyline studdedwith domes and minarets, Istanbul is one of the world's truly greatromantic cities. Its history tracks back from Byzantium toConstantinople to its place at the head of the Ottoman Empire.Today Istanbul hums as Turkey's cultural heart and good-timecapital.

In this sprawling, continent-spanning city you can tramp thestreets where crusaders once marched; admire mosques that are themost sublime architectural expressions of Islamic piety; peer intothe sultan's harem; and hunt for bargains in the Grand Bazaar.
