| A
city of world
Istanbul;the
capital of three great empires, the host for the
cultures of the communities that have been living
in Anatolia for thousands of years, and the city
housing the most significant structures of the
three major religions.
Istanbul, extending to Asia on one side and to
Europe on the other, is the only
city that lies on two continents in the world.
The Bosphorus, passing through the middle of the
city guides the waters of the Black Sea, the Sea
of Marmara and the golden Horn. |
WHERE
TO STAY |
| Istanbul
offers all conceivable varieties of accommodation,
from campsites to the most luxurious of hotels.Istanbul's
five star accommodation is in line with New
York or any major European city in both price
and quality.Pansion accommodation, however,
can be veryreasonable. Visitory come to Istanbul
the whole year round, but during the busiest
months (July-Sept),advance booking is advisable.
WHETHER YOU feel like staying in an Ottoman
palace, takmansion or traditional wooden house,
or even spending a night find the hotel of your
choice in Istanbul. Following a recent boom
in tourism, the city's hotels and guesthouses
now cater for every taste, as well as all budgets.
Hotels tend to be clustered around Istanbul's
main sightseeing areas. Sultanahmet contains
most of the city's historic hotels and guesthouses.
Beyoglu, across the Golden Horn, is a good place
to look for three-and four-star hotels, including
the grand old hotels of the 19th century. Most
of Istanbul's five-star hotels are located in
the Taksim area. |
