TURKEY - ISTANBUL
My travel:
With Maria i have been in Istanbul, economic capital of Turkey. Here we saw the bazar and with a boat we arrive the black sea.
Informations:
Istanbul (historically Byzantium and later Constantinople) is Turkey's most populous city, and its cultural and financial center. It is located on the Bosphorus strait, and encompasses the natural harbor known as the Golden Horn, in the northwest of the country. It extends both on the European and on the Asian side of the Bosphorus, and is thereby the only metropolis in the world which is situated on two continents. In its long history, Istanbul (Constantinople) served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330-395), the Byzantine Empire (395-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922).
