Istanbul embraces two continents: one arm reaching out to Asia and the other to Europe. The waters of the Black Sea and the Golden Horn flow through the city's heart, (the Bosphorus Strait), into the Marmara Sea and then further towards the Mediterranean.

As the former capital of three successive empires, (Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman), today Istanbul honours and preserves its past, while looking forward to its future. Indeed, it is Istanbul's variety that fascinates its visitors. The museums, churches, palaces, great mosques, bazaars and sights of natural beauty seem inexhaustible.

While you recline on the shores of the Bosphorus at sunset, contemplating the red twilight reflected in the windows on the opposite shore, you understand immediately, why so many centuries ago, settlers chose to build on this remarkable site. At times such as these, you feel that Istanbul is truly one of the most glorious cities in the world.
