Istanbul
"There, God and human, nature and art are
together, they have created such a perfect place that
it is valuable to see." Lamartine’s famous
poetic line reveals his love for Istanbul, describing
the embracing of two continents, with one arm reaching
out to Asia and the other to Europe. Istanbul, once
known as the capital of capital cities, has many unique
features. It is the only city in the world to straddle
two continents, and the only one to have been a capital
during two consecutive empires - Christian and Islamic.
Once capital of the Ottoman Empire, Istanbul still
remains the commercial, historical and cultural pulse
of Turkey, and its beauty lies in its ability to
embrace its contradictions. Ancient and modern,
religious and secular, Asia and Europe, mystical and
earthly all co-exist here.
