This comprehensive Istanbul travel guide willย help you to experience the joy and wonder of exploring this ancient city that has become one of the most visited global metropolises in modern times.
Istanbul straddles the Bosphorus Strait with it’s one foot planted firmly in Europe and the other in Asia minor. Itย is an ancient city that has been settled for the past three thousand years and has seen many nations pass through it. Istanbulย had been conquered and ruled by Greeks (Byzantium) and Romans (Constantinople) and finally became Istanbul under the Ottoman Empire in the Middle Ages.
