Best Holiday Destination

Istanbul is Turkey's most populous city and its cultural and financial center. Located on both sides of the Bosphorus, the narrow strait between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, Istanbul bridges Asia and Europe both physically and culturally. Istanbul is a city where you can have a European experience with an Islamic grace. Spires and domes of mosques, medieval architecture dominate the skyline. At dawn, you can see people going to the mosque for the first prayer as you hear the call of muezzin rebound from the ancient minarets.
