&ABOUT ISTANBUL&
The former capital of three successive empires Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman - the city is a
fascinating mixture of the past and present, old and new, modern and traditional. The museums,
churches, palaces, mosques and bazaars, and the sights of natural beauty seem inexhaustible.
As you recline on the shores of the Bosphorus at the sunset contemplating the red evening light
reflected in the windows and slender minarets on the opposite shore you understand, suddenly
and profoundly, why so many centuries ago settlers chose to build on this remarkable site.
