“
There God, Man , Nature and Art have together created and
placed the most marvelous view that human eye can contemplate
on earth. “ (Pierr Loti)
It
is the only city in the world that sits astride two Continents,
Asia and Europe. It has for thousand years been a centre
of communications and trade, both by sea through the straits
and by land accros them.
Surrounded
by architectural masterpieces of many ages, the life of
the city goes on in many ways as it has always done. For
two thousand years men have been selling fruit and vegetables,
meat and fish in the same way in the same places.
Today,
Istanbul is a city, where you can find all the features
of modern world. With its restaurants, 5 star hotels, infrastructure,
entertainment facilities, meeting and convention centers
and shops, you could easily be in one of the modern European
cities. However with it's mosques, palaces, covered bazaar
and monuments you can still feel the nostalgic atmosphere
of 1001 nights in this very special country; TURKEY, the
gate of the Orient.
