ISTANBUL
Istanbul is an old city where you can see the remains of many ancient civilizations and their culture in harmony with Turkish culture. The old versus the new, the traditional versus the modern is a conflict a visitor often observes. The city is full of contrasts and colorful views. Where the blowing winds from the seven peaks of Anatolian Olympos merge into each other… Where Amazon’s cooled their bodies in the waves that break apart from the Black Sea and roll mightily against the shore… Where love is symbolized in the Tower of Leandros…
Where stand the rocks of Symplegad that brought nightmares to the Argonauts…
Built on seven hills on Asia and Europe… Capital of three empires… Where romance and traffic jam go hand in hand… Lively and exciting… A world metropolis… That is Istanbul.
