To mention its name is enough, no need to tell more… Istanbul, city where legends are still alive…

With one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe, Istanbul is the most unique city in the world embracing two continents. Through the city’s heart, the Bosphorus, run the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn. In this imposing site, the reason for its extraordinary destiny the lies former capital of three successive empires, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman. Istanbul today honours and proudly preserves the invaluable legacy of its prodigious past while looking forward to a modern future. Fusion between the East and the West, the past and the present, it is a mythical city that the lone traveller cannot hope to discover.
But Istanbul is not only a historical city, guardian of the vestiges of ancient civilisations. It is also a great cosmopolitan thriving city. The unchanging decoration of the domes and minarets, the noisy merry milling of people, the perpetual moving of boats and the shouting of the hawkers are mixed with the sound of the harbours.

As visitors you will be fascinated mainly by the variety of Istanbul: its museums, churches, palaces, mosques, bazaars and natural sites which seem inexhaustible. Reclining on the Western shore you may suddenly and profoundly understand why so many centuries ago settlers chose to build on this remarkable site and why Istanbul is truly a glorious city.
