Turkey Trip Overview
Istanbul is a city that has been among the most important and largest metropolises in the world for about sixteen centuries from the 4th century [1] to the 20th century. It has been the undisputed sole ruler of a large region where Europe, Asia and Africa meet, and has managed to significantly affect world history in this process.

Its shores offer a delightful mixture of past and present, grand splendor and simple beauty. During the journey you’ll pass magnificent Dolmabahçe Palace as well as Çırağan Palace, refurbished in 1874 by Sultan Abdulaziz and now restored as a grand hotel. Overshadowing Istanbul’s traditional architecture is one of the world’s largest suspension bridges, the Boğaziçi Bridge, linking Europe and Asia.
