In North eastern Turkey, on the Bosporus, we find the city of Istanbul, an important crossroad between the European and Asian continents that makes this city an enigmatic place of extremely rich history; its strategic importance made Istanbul capital of the Byzantine, Roman and Ottoman empires; a perfect miscegenation that contributed to a beautiful city. At sunset, among the tortuous steep streets we find precious architectural and cultural vestiges sprinkled with a reddish light that will take you to ancient times and cultures.

 

Nowadays, Istanbul is a living museum with a perfect East and West blend. Tour the city and feel the treasures it hides. In the heart of Istanbul, at the Sultan Ahmed Square you will find the jewels of the crown: the impressive Santa Sofia, consecrated as a church in the first place and nearly a thousand years later it was transformed into a mosque; at present its an extraordinary museum. At less than a hundred steps you can see the Blue Mosque, the Great Project of Sultan Ahmet I; inside a stunning symphony of blue sapphires.

 

You have just arrived and you can already feel Istanbul inside your heart… You mustn’t miss the famous Grand Bazar, a mixture of indescribable colours and scents. This is Istanbul, history and magic that emerges in every corner of the city. From Taksim, the main artery of the city, to the Topkapi Palace, , which was the ottoman sultans’ residence for more than four hundred years. A mixture of ancient and contemporary, a lavish culture created from two immense cultures that won’t leave you indifferent.
