ISTANBUL, PEARL OF TURKEY

Some Turks believe that Istanbul is the Pearl of Turkey and some even go further and call it the pearl of the World . I am not sure is it a pearl or a Diomand but what one can be sure of is that Istanbul combines the past and present with its architecture, life style, people and breeze of amazing Bosphorus.

Istanbul is a safe place for visitors as much as any other big city would be in the western world, mind you one must never let his/her guard off, this is a general precaution of any traveller.

Istanbul is not a place to visit for its beaches and Idylic boat trips nor for typicall brtish style benidorm holidaying. It is more sophistecated then that with her palaces, museums, ancient buildings, local and pre-local history, bazaars and markets, hamams, orientic essenses and herbs as well as the beautiful natural seafront.

Istanbul does offers lots to see and to do. You can do it all by yourself or via a Tour Guide which this way your time and day will not be wasted and more can be seen.

Istanbul is never in shortage with her Hotels as there are accommodation available to suit all budgets from Hostels, affordable bed and breakfast to top notch Hotels.

Istanbul has got great deal of wining and dining places where one can find thousands if not hundreds of traditional restaurants, pubs as well as food stalls. Places to eat and drink ranges from six stars right down to street stall munchings, giving you the wider choice you would like to have.
