Istanbul: a clash of cultures
Straddling the borders of two continents, Istanbul is a fascinating patchwork of architectural styles and cultural treasures. Many a great civilisation has made this magnificent city their home over the centuries, from the Romans and Greeks to the Ottomans, and each has left their distinct mark. Some of the most iconic sights include the Hagia Sophia (the unofficial eighth wonder of the world), the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, the Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sophia, and the Galata Tower.
Don't miss your chance to explore the Besiktas district, where you can browse for curios at the Grand Bazaar, and check out the interesting buildings dating from the Byzantine, Roman, and Ottoman periods. Further thrills include visiting the grandiose Süleymaniye Mosque, working your way through the awe-inspiring antiquities at the Archaeology Museum, and taking a ferry cruise on The Bosphorus - the narrow waterway that separates Istanbul from Europe.
